Production status of CIS titanium

Yktmk, a sponge titanium producer in Kazakhstan, will produce 15300 tons of sponge titanium and 6300 tons of titanium ingots in 2020. The export volume of sponge titanium exceeds 30%. According to customs statistics, all titanium ingots are exported to the Netherlands, France, South Korea, China, the United States and Russia.

Ukraine has 20% ilmenite in the world, of which 40% is located in the post Soviet Union. Therefore, the proven total ilmenite reserves are 130 million tons, the titanium output of Ukraine ranks fifth in the world, and the ilmenite mining volume ranks seventh in the world. After mining and reprocessing by a Ukrainian mining company, high-quality titanium raw materials are provided to domestic and foreign sponge titanium manufacturers in the form of ilmenite.

The sponge titanium manufacturer in Ukraine is ztmc. Although the design capacity of the company's sponge titanium production is 12000 tons, and it can also show that it can produce titanium ingots, the actual output of the company's sponge titanium is 5000 ~ 9000 tons due to the problem of production fund. In 2020, the company's sponge titanium output will be 5400 tons.

Ukraine mainly produces titanium ingots by the following companies: Antares national company, which mainly has three vacuum electron beam melting furnaces. Each smelting furnace can produce 2500 tons of titanium ingots every year; E. O. Barton Welding Research Institute, which was established in January 1934 based on the welding laboratory of the electric welding Committee and the engineering facilities department of Kiev Institute of technology; BM strategy company, founded in 2004, is one of the main partners of kV titanium company. The company mainly produces titanium ingots, electron beam equipment, etc. At present, the company's production capacity is 4000 tons / year.
