Titanium Centrifuge R & D successfully fills domestic gaps to break foreign monopoly

[China Instrument Network Instrument Development] Centrifuge is one of the commonly used equipment in the military, chemical, smelting and other industrial production. However, for a long time, due to the limitation of processing technology and materials, centrifuges of general materials have the shortcomings of short life and poor stability, and are increasingly difficult to meet the higher technical requirements in China's industrial production.

Recently, a good news came from Shaanxi Meixian Blower Factory, a leading manufacturer of northwest wind turbines. The plant and Shaanxi Baoji Huatai Metal Technology Co., Ltd. integrated the scientific and technological resources and jointly developed a successful titanium-based centrifuge. This technology has filled our country in this area. The blank of the field has broken the foreign monopoly of China.

Centrifuges are one of the commonly used equipment in military, chemical, and smelting industries. The Meixian Blower Factory, with equipment requirements for centrifuges on the market, combined with Baoji Titanium Industry's 90% of the country's titanium resources, began research and development on the use of titanium to produce centrifuge equipment. Titanium has the characteristics of corrosion resistance, wear resistance, high temperature resistance, and light weight in the process, and is a high-quality material for processing centrifuge equipment. However, there are also difficult problems such as high temperature setting and complicated welding process. To speed up industrial upgrading, Meixian Blower Factory and Baoji Huatai Metal Co., Ltd. carried out cooperation and the two sides integrated their own superior technological resources. The Meixian Blower Factory provided the processing technology of the fan and improved the technology. Huatai was responsible for the study of the characteristics of the material in order to explore the feasible conditions for the application of the titanium to the fan. Under the joint efforts of both sides, they finally broke the technical bottleneck. They used the argon arc welding process and a constant temperature setting technology with a high temperature of 550-600 degrees to achieve a perfect closure of the centrifuge.

The new titanium standard centrifuge overcomes the deficiencies of the centrifuges of other materials in the past and meets the technical requirements of wear resistance, corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance. At the same time, depending on the characteristics of the titanium metal, the centrifuge achieves a high degree of stability during operation. Compared with the general material centrifuge, the service life of the titanium standard centrifuge can reach 5 years, and can automatically complete the process of feeding, discharging, scraping, and braking in a highly corrosive environment, and can be widely applied to Aviation, chemical, smelting, defense and other industries.
