Titanium alloy is a very light material, it has small elasticity, high strength, and also has good heat resistance and corrosion resistance. It is one of the important materials used to manufacture weapons and equipment. It is also a relatively common material currently used by nuclear submarines. Both Chinese nuclear submarines and US and Russian nuclear submarines use a large amount of titanium alloy materials in their own submarine construction. The proportion of titanium alloy materials used is also very different. For example, Russian nuclear submarines like to use a lot of titanium alloy materials, while the US military nuclear submarines use titanium alloy materials relatively low-key. China has abundant reserves of titanium alloy resources, and the reserves of ilmenite ore rank first in the world, and the moderate use of titanium alloys on nuclear submarines will greatly improve the hardware performance of China's nuclear submarines.

　　 Titanium alloys have huge advantages for China's nuclear submarines. In particular, China has made great achievements in the use of titanium alloy materials. The C919 large passenger aircraft and the CZ-5 high-thrust launch vehicle all use key rare metal materials such as titanium and titanium alloys. As one of the important materials for weapon manufacturing, titanium alloy is mainly used to manufacture rockets, missiles and other weapon parts or engine and compressor parts. Not only that, it can also be used to make exquisite parts and even submarines.

　　Countries in the world are working hard to study the casting technology of titanium alloys, but among them, the three countries with the highest achievements are the United States, Russia and China. The United States occupies a leading position in this regard, but because the domestic production of titanium is not high, it usually only uses titanium alloys in key and necessary places. Russia has continued to develop in the field of titanium alloy technology based on the former Soviet Union’s experience in manufacturing many nuclear submarines from titanium alloys. And China, as a country that developed military science and technology relatively late, is not lost to other military powers. According to records, my country has used nearly 20% of the titanium alloy material in the manufacture of the J-20 to increase the life of the airframe.

　　 This is our great power weapon, and it will play an important role in the future. It also fully proves that our country has begun to become stronger in industry and gradually rise in military power.
