In August 2022, the project to develop large-format, wide-width titanium alloy sheets with a strength of 1000 MPa, carried out jointly by Baotai Co., Ltd. and the Institute of Metal Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, achieved significant progress. The project team at Baotai successfully developed 1000MPa-grade high-strength and high-toughness titanium alloy sheets with a weight of 8.7 tons and dimensions of 55×2200×15700 mm. These are the thickest and longest wide-format high-strength and high-toughness titanium alloy sheets produced in China to date. During the development process, the project team overcame and mastered a series of key technologies, including the melting of ultra-large titanium alloys with high strength and toughness, the preparation of large-width, extra-thick titanium alloy billets with high strength and toughness, and the rolling of wide-width, long-length titanium alloy sheets with high strength and toughness. The various properties of these sheets were excellent, and the results of ultrasonic testing were good, with a testing level of Φ1.2–9dB. The successful development of this plate has set new records in China for high-strength, high-toughness titanium alloys, in terms of the largest homogeneous ingot, the heaviest single slab, and the highest-quality plates of the greatest size; the overall technology involved is at the leading level in the country. This product can meet the requirements of large-scale pressure-resistant equipment for use in deep seas, and it is of great significance for improving the size and light weight of marine equipment in our country.
