The many excellent properties of titanium determine that titanium is also very suitable for use as building wall and roofing materials in various environments. In the construction, the roof is mostly used for roofing, accounting for about 60%, and the outer wall is about 30%. Japan is in construction. The earliest country to use titanium, titanium has been used as a building material for about 30 years.
The United States is the country that uses the largest amount of titanium, and its use is mainly concentrated in the aerospace category, but it has gradually begun to shift to the civilian category. In recent years, there has been a rapid development of titanium for construction in Europe, and there are cases of titanium for construction in many countries. Even so, the use of titanium plates in construction is still very few.
Many people tend to misunderstand the often-speaking "titanium zinc plate" as titanium plate. In practice, titanium zinc plate is only a zinc alloy plate doped with a very small amount of titanium element; while titanium plate is mainly made of titanium with only a small amount Metal alloy materials of other elements. The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, designed by Frank Ou Gehry, is the most famous of all buildings with titanium as the main finishing material.
Except for the local stone base, the entire wall and roof of the building are covered with 0.3-0.4mm thick titanium plates, covering an area of 32,000 square meters and weighing approximately 80 tons. Due to the thinness of the titanium plate, the uneven metal folds and its unique metallic luster are very eye-catching.
