TIEXPO 2017 - International Titanium Expo was held on April 25-27, 2017 at Baoji Convention & Exhibition Center. The theme of EXPO [New Times, New Material, New Application". Exhibits covered almost the whole chain of titanium industry including ore mining, melting, rolling processing, recycling and reusing etc. Moreover, four distinctive exhibition areas, domestic titanium products zone, international products zone, new developed products zone and institute research products zone, consist of more than 150 companies which not only came from all over China but also USA, France, Italy, India etc. As the only domestic and the biggest titanium expo in the world, the exhibition covers military equipment, aerospace, marine shipping building, oil industry, medical equipment, automobile manufacture, daily necessities etc. Titanium Industry is the most competitive and traditional industries in Baoji, it is also one of the [ Four industrial clusters" in Thirteen Five Year Plan. Baoji · China Titanium Valley has become the biggest non-ferrous metal Research and Production Base, more than 500 companies have the research, test, production, sales, after-sales service capabilities, Yixin is one of those. Yixin, Booth # B226, displayed it`s main products: titanium forged ring, bar, extruded thick wall tube, target and block etc., which fully described words [concentration is the essence". With strong production capability, high quality products, and professional sales team, Yixin gained very fruitful result in this exhibition.

The Offshore Technology Conference (OTC),organized by American Petroleum Engineering & Technology Association, and brings together the world's major oil companies and many outstanding international oil equipment suppliers and buyers from around the world. OTC is where energy professionals meet to exchange ideas and opinions to advance scientific and technical knowledge for offshore resources and environmental matters. Under the collaboration and efforts of YIXIN Team, the results as expected. We had a face to face communication with customers to understand their related needs, procurement intentions, also collected the exact contact information; For important customers, we submitedt information and registrated for supplier on their system and established the initial relationship; moreover, we now have a better understanding for the titanium application in the oil industry.

Titanium Application in Seawater-Desalination There are two basic technology categories for desalination systems: membrane/reverse osmosis, and thermal distillation (evaporation). Thermal distillation is broken out into three sub categories: MSF; multiple effect evaporation (MED), and vapor compression. Titanium finds most of its applications in the thermal distillation category, use for tubing, valves and water-storage vessels. By contrast, titanium has only limited use in reverse osmosis systems, primarily in pump heads. With titanium often the economic choice for seawater application the importance of the technical case cannot be overstated and should be revisited. Many application engineers have ignored the potential for titanium based on the misconception that titanium is hard to find and if found was too expensive to consider. For that reason the technical case for titanium in seawater service is presented here in this article. The industrial titanium market has expanded globally both in terms of supply and application to process plant equipment. Even considering the recent collapse of base metal prices, titanium still has an economic advantage over materials comprised predominately of copper and/or nickel. While the price gap with these more common materials of construction has narrowed titanium still brings an economic benefit to projects.

2017 Titanium Sponge Price Increasing Quickly Till end of March, 2017, titanium sponge price increasing from 5700 to 62,000 yuan / ton after Chinese New Year, which is the largest increase this year at present. Titanium raw material price rising also means that after a lapse of more than a year, sponge titanium market will once again return to 60,000/ton times. The main reason for the sharp rise in titanium sponge prices is costs rising. First, the production of titanium sponge titanium main raw materials, magnesium ingot cost rose about 2,000 yuan / ton. Second, titanium raw material costs rose almost 2,000 yuan / ton. That means titanium sponge raw material costs increased by 4,000 yuan / ton, from this point of view, titanium sponge prices exceeded 60,000 yuan / ton is also reasonable. In the short term, the current price of titanium raw materials and magnesium ingots will remain in the uptrend, which means that the raw material costs of titanium sponge will keep rising.

Warmest congratulations to Sun Xiaoning & Yang Liangliang, from Yixin, both obtained Non - Destructive Testing(penetration) Level I Certificate , and Duan Xiaohui obtained Non - Destructive Testing(penetration) Level ⅡCertificate, which issued by Chinese Mechanical Engineering Society.
