Baoji is known as "China Titanium Valley". Many Titanium enterprises mainly gather in Baoji High-tech Zone. There are more than 500 registered titanium-related enterprises in the region. The supply of titanium materials and titanium products accounts for 60% of the whole country and 20% of the world. The scale of titanium industry ranks second in the world and first in the country. In recent years, Baotian Group and several private titanium enterprises have become the "leader" in the joint industry chain, and small and medium-sized enterprises have created industrial clusters with complementary advantages. In an open and mutually reinforcing manner, advanced innovation resources at home and abroad have been docked to form a complete and efficient innovation value chain, which makes the titanium industry move towards high-end manufacturing.

Recently, when reporters visited titanium enterprises and entered Baoti Group, the production lines of sheet and strip, composite board and other workshops, a busy scene unfolded in front of us. Bao Ti's leadership said that since the first quarter of this year, the group's order volume has increased substantially, increasing by more than 113% year-on-year, titanium production has increased by 40% year-on-year, and foreign trade exports have increased by 150% year-on-year. As the industry leader, Baotian Group has also led dozens of local private enterprises to cooperate with them, completing many parts of the product processing tasks.

Topda Titanium Industry is a titanium enterprise with very industrial characteristics in Baoji High-tech Zone. It is mainly engaged in radial fast forging of various titanium bars. It can be seen from the production site that a radial forging machine "pulls up" four hammers and forges them with high frequency along the axis of bright red titanium billet. Within a few minutes, a thick billet will be drawn out and thinned. According to the company's leadership, precision forging machine can not only produce precision forging bars, but also produce and process fine thick-walled tubes. In recent years, the company has participated in the research and development of a variety of special-shaped titanium forgings and thick-walled titanium tubes in deep-sea engineering and military fields. Wang Yongjin, the head of the company, told reporters that the titanium alloy thick-walled pipe being forged and processed just now is the incoming material processing product of Baoti Group. The company relies on the diameter forging processing equipment imported from Austria, and the enterprise processes the material for Baoti and the enterprises in the region one year, which can realize more than 10 million yuan of processing fee income, forging. Compared with traditional processing methods, the yield of manufactured products can be increased by 3% and the cost can be reduced by about 10%.

Based on the demand of industrial chain, the flexible advantages of private science and technology enterprises in Baoji High-tech Zone in innovation are injecting new vitality into the leading state-owned enterprises. At present, Topda is participating in the development of deep-sea equipment shell and deep-sea exploration products, the pace of enterprise transformation and upgrading is more and more stable; Baoji Xinnuo New Metal Material Company specializes in medical titanium wire, titanium rod, titanium plate and other titanium medical materials, the product has a domestic market share of more than 30%, and is exported to Germany, Brazil and other countries; Titanium company produces 500 tons of titanium seed plate annually, which occupies 78% of the national electrolytic copper market.

At present, relying on the "aircraft carrier" of the titanium industry of Baoji Group, there are more than 530 small and medium-sized enterprises in the field of titanium products on the voyage. They are like "escort fleet", cooperating with Baoti Group in supporting division of labor, intensive cultivation and subdivision of fields, so as to make the upstream and downstream industrial chain more complete.

The agglomeration of Baoji industrial chain brings about the agglomeration of all kinds of innovation chains. In Baoji High-tech Zone High-end Equipment Manufacturing Industrial Park, the reporter met Dr. Zhao Yulin from Beijing. In 2005, he came to Baoji to set up a research and development team and devoted himself to the development of digital intelligent welding machine. "Only by replacing and upgrading the software, we can carry out'fool welding'for different materials and processes to meet the individual needs of customers." Zhao Yulin introduced that recently a large-scale titanium pipe welding production line was designed by an enterprise. According to the traditional technical ideas, it took four people two days to complete the welding of the 1-4 meter diameter titanium pipe. The use of digital intelligent welding machine, no longer need manual operation, only half a day can be completed in high quality, greatly solving the current shortage of senior welders in the industry.

Like Zhao Yulin, a research and development organization and technical service team around the titanium industry product chain, more than ten new companies have been added in Baoji High-tech Zone in the past two years. In order to improve the service capability of industrial innovation, Baoji High-tech Zone has increased its cooperation with universities and research institutes, introduced several national R&D centers, and realized the rapid flow of talents and technical services. Baoji aggregates the "titanium" force, and is forming a deep combination of "production, education and research", which will help the titanium industry move towards high-end and rapid development.

Constructing a technology "big market" is a key tactic for Baoji High-tech Zone to take a "chess game" for live production, education and research. At the end of last year, the Northwest Regional Innovation Center of National University Technology Transfer Center was set up in Baoji High-tech Zone. The center matches the international advanced technology and collects the innovative achievements of universities and research institutes so as to provide titanium enterprises with the choice of suitable results for transformation. It also encourages enterprises to cooperate in technology trading with incentive policies and brings Baoji Titanium enterprises into globalization. Industrial division system.

Talent chain is an important part of industrial value chain. In recent years, Baoji High-tech Zone has launched the "Titanium Valley Talent Aggregation Plan". At present, Baoji Titanium Industry has about 17,000 domestic first-class experts and high-quality practitioners in the titanium field, and more than 40,000 industrial workers, forming a complete talent system for industrial development.

At present, Baoji's titanium industry has formed a complete chain of "Sponge Titanium-Titanium Ingot-Titanium Processing Material-Titanium Alloy Material-Titanium Composite Material-Titanium Material Deep Processing Products". Enterprise products are widely used in aviation, aerospace, warships, weapons, petroleum, chemical industry, metallurgy, power, pharmaceuticals, marine engineering and sports and leisure. Domain, exported to the United States, Japan, Germany, France, Britain, India and other places. In 2018, Baoji Titanium Industry realized a total industrial output value of 45 billion yuan, "Baoji China Titanium Valley Industrial Cluster"
