The properties of titanium are good, the yield strength of titanium is higher than that of steel, and its weight is almost half of the same volume of steel, although titanium is slightly heavier than aluminum, its yield strength is 2 times greater than aluminum. The specific strength of titanium is higher than that of aluminum and steel, and the specific modulus is very close to that of aluminum and steel. In space rockets and missiles, titanium is used in large quantities instead of steel. According to statistics, the annual use of titanium in the world for astronautics has reached more than 1,000 tons. Very fine titanium powder is also a good fuel for rockets, so titanium is known as a cosmic metal and a space metal.

Titanium reacts easily with air at high temperatures, but has a melting point of up to 1668°C. At room temperature, titanium is not afraid of aqua regia and dilute nitric acid corrosion, but it is not resistant to sulfuric acid with a concentration of more than 5% and hydrochloric acid at 7%. Titanium is not afraid of seawater at room temperature, someone once sank a piece of titanium to the bottom of the sea, five years later to take a look, there are many small animals and undersea plants stuck on it, but there is no rust at all, it is still shiny.

If you just say that the performance is good, titanium is not the best among all elements, and a large number of metal elements such as tungsten and molybdenum have much better properties than titanium.

However, titanium is the most suitable metal to be developed as an alternative to steel.

Because, compared with other metal elements, the content of titanium on the surface of the earth kills countless metal elements such as tungsten and molybdenum.

Ten kilometers thick strata on the surface of the earth, containing six thousandths of titanium, sixty-one times more than copper, in the earth's crust content ranked tenth (elements in the earth's crust: oxygen, silicon, aluminum, iron, calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, hydrogen, titanium), casually grab a handful of soil from the ground, which contains a few thousandths of titanium, the world's reserves of more than 10 million tons of titanium ore is not uncommon.

Good performance and large quantity are the key to titanium alloy's possible replacement of steel in the future.

It can even be said that if titanium alloy does not reach the corresponding degree of development, then the first step of human beings to colonize space cannot be realized.

As for Professor Steven's so-called reliable information, they also knew very well what it was, and it was not stolen by the spies planted in Huapan.

Chu Hao made such a big splash at the 21st Century New Materials Conference, how could he not be targeted by people with intentions.

I'm afraid that as early as when Huapan was just established, some people mixed into Huapan.

Of course, this is not an unusual method, maybe among these people here are also spies sent by Hua Pan.

It's just that they are really shocked by Huapan's ambition now.

This is only a company that has only been established for two years, and it has already occupied 10% of the world's titanium alloy market, with an annual revenue of more than 2 billion US dollars, according to their calculations, Huapan's net profit can reach at least 100 million US dollars, or even 200 million US dollars.

That's quite a lot.

You know, in the past two years in the field of titanium alloy competition with Huapan, major companies can be said to be fighting with Huapan, profit margins have dropped sharply, Tatar Group also occupies 10% of the titanium alloy market, but it is expected that the profit in the field of titanium alloy will not exceed 50 million US dollars.

Normally, the Tatar Group's profits in titanium alloys have been maintained at more than 100 million US dollars.

The market has expanded, and as a result, the money earned is not as much as before.

Who is to blame for this?

Of course, the Huapan Group is to blame!

If Chu Hao is here, I am afraid that he will directly throw Huapan's statement on the faces of these people, what kind of joke, Huapan's gross profit reached almost one billion dollars last year.

However, the saddest thing is that don't look at them as if they were struggling to resist, but under Huapan's attack, it can be said that they have no power to fight back.

After all, who makes Huapan's titanium alloy products cheap and of good quality.

But even so, Huapan was not satisfied, and actually proposed to occupy 20% of the titanium alloy market next year.

Although it was enough to look at Hua Pan, they were still shocked by Hua Pan's appetite.

If this trend is followed, in a few years, the titanium alloy market, which seems to have unlimited prospects, will not have a place for them, and all the money will be earned by a company in Huapan.

That's one of the reasons why they're able to come together today.

"Indeed, Huapan's appetite is really too big, next year they will occupy 20% of the titanium alloy market, then the year after tomorrow they will be able to occupy 40% of the titanium alloy market, 50, if this is another two years, I am afraid there will not be any way for everyone to live. Professor Steven said.

Professor Steven paused, glanced to the left, and then said: "Danieli's representative doesn't need to laugh, Huapan Group is not only encroaching on everyone's share in the titanium alloy market, but also encroaching on your market and devouring your lives in titanium metallurgical equipment, and this is even more terrifying than the titanium alloy market." ”

"After all, the slogan of Huapan Group next year is only to occupy 20% of the titanium alloy market, and in the titanium alloy production line and metallurgical equipment, it is to become a well-deserved first, and in the future, it will comprehensively surpass your three major metallurgical equipment manufacturers!"

The representative of Danieli in the audience looked confused, and he only had one sentence in his heart at this time, that is, I have orange and wheat husks and I don't know whether to be an oar or not?

He didn't laugh at all.

Steven was talking about him entirely.

It's no wonder that in London, Steven is like a rat crossing the street, and he rushes to this temperament, it's really strange.

Several acquaintances around patted the representative of Danieli comfortingly.

They were next to them, naturally knowing whether Representative Danieli was smiling or not, how could anyone laugh at such a time, Professor Steven was simply talking nonsense.

However, I have to say that Steven still managed to attract everyone's attention, and these people who were comforting Danieli just now turned their faces and looked at Steven intently.

After all, compared to the fact that Danieli's representative was exposed, the future life and death of their company in the field of titanium alloy metallurgical equipment is what they care about the most.

Although the share of titanium alloy metallurgical equipment in its own company is not large, if one day, the titanium alloy market develops to the way just mentioned, and fully replaces steel.

Then, it means that their main business will change from steelmaking equipment to a variety of titanium alloy metallurgical equipment.

In this way, this is also related to their future jobs, and they really can't afford not to pay attention to them.

Besides, the people who were shabu were the representatives of Danieli, not them.

As the so-called dead friends do not die in the poor way, just from these few people, there are people who can't say it, and they still hope that Danieli will collapse first.

"Therefore, we must unite and resist the brutal expansion of the Huapan group, otherwise when the time comes, all of you here will join the army of unemployed. Professor Steven said categorically.

At this moment, the huge conference hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone showed a contemplative expression.

It can be said that everyone here is a person who has a conflict with Huapan Group, and everyone has thought about resisting Huapan.

But the key question is, how to resist Huapan?

This is a huge problem.

Directly lobbied the governments of various Western countries to block all Huapan products, including titanium alloys and titanium alloy production lines.

This is easy to do, not to mention that there are so many representatives of industry-related enterprises sitting here, as well as the heads of various research institutes and colleges.

It's a quarter of the people here who stand up, and their combined strength is enough to do it.

But this kind of thing is always a double-edged sword, blocking Huapan, although it hurts Huapan, but it also has great damage to oneself.

After all, the absence of cheap titanium alloy and titanium alloy production line suppliers like Huapan means that all titanium alloy-related manufacturing enterprises, such as automobile, aviation, chemical, medical and so on.

Their costs are bound to rise.

If it was before, facing the scum of Southeast Asia or South America, this is not a big problem.

The rising costs are passed on to the consumer.

However, they are facing China, the world's largest manufacturing power.

You must know that China's industrial output value has surpassed that of the East and is close to that of the United States.

And the U.S. industry, everyone knows, although the output value is very high, but it has a huge intellectual property bonus.

For example, the manufacturing cost of the apples in later generations is not much, but the price is extremely high, so what does Apple rely on to make money, it is to make money by intellectual property.

But for every iPhone sold, its GDP counts towards industrial output.

Computer CPUs, graphics cards, including munitions, etc., these profiteering industries are all in the statistical caliber of industrial output value.

In other words, although the industrial output value of the United States is high, it is large and empty, and in fact it does not make much.

Moreover, it is foreseeable that even in terms of price, China will one day surpass the United States in industrial output.

Then, if they still blindly raise the price like this, the consequences will be terrifying.

Once similar products from Huaxia are launched, they will definitely be beaten and ruined.

So what should we do next? Continue to block all the commodities produced in China and open an anti-dumping investigation?

I'm afraid, even the most stupid person will not do this.

After all, in this era of global trade integration, whoever does this simply means that the country is closed off and cut off from the world.

It will also be crushed by the wheels of history.

How to resist Huapan Group is simply an unsolvable problem.

In the land of Huaxia, none of the methods they were good at in the past could be used, and the use of normal commercial means was obviously not enough to defeat Huapan.

It's not that they're incompetent.

Rather, science and technology are the primary productive forces, and no one can resist the powerful power brought by advanced science and technology.

Professor Steven coughed, "I know that many of our companies here are unable to give up the cheap goods brought by Huapan Group, in today's era, abandon the same quality, cheap products, and instead choose more expensive products, this is against the market, no matter who does this, will usher in death!"

Hearing this, everyone was a little confused by the second monk.

Since Professor Steven understands this, what is the point of summoning them and then playing up a big deal about the threat just now?

"Today's meeting is not to say that we want to force everyone to give up the products of Huapan Group, but to announce to you that my research institute has researched titanium alloy products with lower cost and better performance than Huapan's existing products!"

Time seemed to freeze in an instant, and Professor Steven's words kept echoing in everyone's minds.

At this time, everyone suddenly realized, no wonder Professor Steven made such a big fight, no wonder there were all kinds of people to lobby them to participate in this meeting, and there were even lobbying companies and hints from the government.

Otherwise, with Professor Steven, a rat crossing the street, how could he make such a big battle and invite so many people.

Of course, this also has a huge relationship with Huapan itself.

Whoever lets, Huapan does not belong to the Western system.

If you are like the Eastern Japanese and Southern Goryeo, you will break away from Asia and enter Europe, and be a spiritual white man and an honorary white man, how can there be such a situation where you will attack them in groups.

In addition, Hua Pan is too greedy.

Those of you here are engaged in steel mills, those who are engaged in metallurgical equipment are engaged in metallurgical equipment, and those who are engaged in research are engaged in research.

This is not to say that there are no other items to do in the steel mill, but it is just that Huapan is too good, no matter what it does, it is too good.

For example, the steel mill's own research institute is certainly not as good as the specialized research institutes of major universities.

Mu Xiu is in the forest, this is Hua Pan's original sin.

Hua Pan's behavior is simply not giving others a way to live.

Then it's no wonder they targeted Huapan.

Immediately after that, a picture appeared on the PTT again, which was densely enumerated with various data.

"This is our research institute, the latest low-cost titanium alloy, the performance is much higher than the titanium alloy produced by Huapan. Professor Steven excitedly introduced.

Looking at the data on PTT, many people couldn't help but pout the corners of their lips.

The performance data of these titanium alloys released by Professor Steven absolutely did not say that the performance of the titanium alloys produced by Huapan was much higher, and the indicators could only be said to be comparable.

Moreover, this is only laboratory data, and the specific data needs to be known after they test it themselves.

However, based on past experience, the data they tested will be worse than the laboratory data.

This is not some false propaganda, it can only be said that it is the norm.

After all, it doesn't mean that whatever formula is given by the laboratory, when the steel mill actually operates, it can be guaranteed to be exactly the same as what is researched in the laboratory, and it always has to be discounted.

That is, the titanium alloy produced by Huapan is not the same, compared with the theoretical indicators given, not only is it not discounted, but sometimes it is better.

However, the low-cost titanium alloy researched by Professor Steven does not mean that it cannot be used.

Everyone knows this, otherwise Professor Steven would not have released them, let alone gathered them with such fanfare.
