Western Superconductor Made A Major Breakthrough in The Field Of Titanium Alloy Preparation Technology

May 26, 2025

Western Superconductor Materials Technology Co., Ltd. has recently attracted widespread attention in the financial sector, for no other reason than its major breakthrough in the field of titanium alloy preparation technology. This breakthrough is not only reflected in the company successfully applied for three innovative patents, but also in how these technologies will have a profound impact on the development of China's high-end manufacturing industry.
According to the latest announcement of the State Intellectual Property Office, the three patents obtained by Western Superconductor cover the preparation method of short-flow Ti-55531 titanium alloy rods, the method of controlling the oxygen content of titanium and titanium alloy ingots and the control system, as well as the preparation method of large-size forging plates of low-cost TC18 titanium alloy. Each patent is an in-depth exploration and innovative practice of titanium alloy preparation technology, which together constitute a strong technical barrier for Western Superconductor in the field of titanium alloy.

The preparation method of short process Ti-55531 titanium alloy bar is a typical innovation case. By optimizing the forging and heat treatment processes, the method successfully reduces the grain size of the titanium alloy intermediate billet, resulting in a more uniform and finer organization. This not only improves the quality of titanium alloy bars, but also makes the preparation process more efficient, with fewer fires, shorter processes and lower energy consumption. Such an innovation undoubtedly provides new possibilities for large-scale and efficient preparation of titanium alloy bars.
As for the control method and control system of the oxygen content of titanium and titanium alloy ingots, it is a manifestation of Western Superconductor's exquisite skill in material quality control. By precisely controlling the oxygen content of the raw material of titanium ingot and the distance between the self-consumption electrode and the crucible wall after loading the furnace, the method realizes the effective control of the oxygen content of titanium and titanium alloy ingots. This not only improves the quality and properties of titanium alloy materials, but also meets the special requirements of various high-end applications.
In addition, the preparation method of low-cost TC18 titanium alloy large-size forging plate is also a major innovation of Western Superconductor. Through the optimization of forging and heat treatment process, this method has successfully prepared large-size forging plates with a single weight of 1t~3t, specifications of 150mm~250mm (thickness) x 300~1000mm (width) x 1000mm~3000mm (length), and the uniformity of the organization and performance meet the requirements of aviation standards. The development of this technology not only reduces the production cost, but also shortens the production cycle, injecting a new impetus for the development of China's high-end manufacturing industry.
The patent achievements of Western Superconductor Materials Technology this time not only reflect the company's profound accumulation and innovation ability in the field of titanium alloy preparation technology, but also demonstrate its leading position in China's high-end manufacturing industry. The development and application of these technologies will strongly promote the application of titanium alloy materials in aerospace, new energy and other fields, and inject new vitality into the development of China's high-end manufacturing industry.
In the future, with the continuous promotion and application of these technologies, we believe that Western Superconductor will continue to make more breakthroughs and innovations in the field of titanium alloy preparation technology, and promote China's high-end manufacturing industry to a higher level. At the same time, we also look forward to more companies like Western Superconductor, can continue to move forward on the road of scientific and technological innovation, for the transformation and upgrading of China's manufacturing industry and high-quality development to contribute more power.
