This is a timeline of FIXME.

Big picture

Time period Development summary
1950s–1960s In the 1950s and 1960s, the Soviet Union pioneer the use of titanium in military and submarine applications[1] (Alfa class and Mike class)[2] as part of programs related to the Cold War.[3]

Full timeline

Year Event type Details Country/region
1791
1795 titanium "Klaproth"
1910 "Pure metallic titanium (99.9%) was first prepared in 1910 by Matthew A. Hunter"
1925 Titanium of very high purity is made in small quantities when Anton Eduard van Arkel and Jan Hendrik de Boer discover the iodide, or crystal bar, process, by reacting with iodine and decomposing the formed vapours over a hot filament to pure metal.[4]
1932 "Titanium metal was not used outside the laboratory until 1932 when William Justin Kroll proved that it can be produced by reducing titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4) with calcium"
2005 – 2008 Production Titanium sponge production increased from 104,000 to 176,000 tonnes in the period. The growth is partly driven by a surge in demand from the aerospace sector, but also by growing demand for titanium in chemical plant in China. Chinese output of titanium sponge increased fivefold between 2005 and 2008.[5]
2006 Production According to data, the world's largest producer, Russian-based VSMPO-AVISMA, is estimated to account for about 29% of the world market share.[6] Russia
2008 Demand A sharp decline in titanium demand is caused by the global economic slowdown and delays in the production of high-titanium content aircraft such as the A380 and B787.[5]
2009 Production As of date, production of titanium sponge is confined to six countries, in order of output, China, Japan, Russia, Kazakhstan, United States and Ukraine.[5] China, Japan, Russia, Kazakhstan, United States and Ukraine
2009 Demand The global market for titanium mill products is about 100,000 tonnes compared with 130,000 in 2008.[5]
2010 Production China stands as the main engine for growth, and production of titanium grows strongly with several new large-scale sponge plants under construction.[5] China
2010 Infrastructure As of date, There are 18 companies producing titanium sponge, of which nine are in China, compared with just two plants a decade ago. In 2010, titanium ingot melting capacity is nominally 340,000 tonnes, 85% of which is located in Russia, the United States, Japan and China.[5]
