Zliatina titánubol úspešne vyvinutý v 50. rokoch 20. storočia. Vďaka svojej vysokej pevnosti, dobrej odolnosti proti korózii, vysokej tepelnej odolnosti a kvalite svetla sa široko používa v rôznych oblastiach. Titán bol prvýkrát použitý vo vojenskej oblasti vo veľkých vojenských mocnostiach, ako sú Spojené štáty americké a Rusko.
The U.S. Air Force secretly developed the All-Titanium Airplane SR-71 Black Bird in 1959. Its titanium alloy usage accounted for 93 percent of the airframe's weight, which enabled the airplane to successfully break through the heat barrier and fly at three times the speed of sound while maintaining the airframe's strength. The prestigious F-22 and F-35 stealth fighters use Ti extensively in their body materials and engines, which makes the F-22 and F-35 superior in performance.
Zliatina titánu je tiež široko používaná v námorníctve kvôli jej odolnosti proti korózii a vysokej pevnosti. Počas studenej vojny využíval bývalý Sovietsky zväz veľké množstvozliatina titánu materials for submarine hulls, such as the well-known "Alpha" nuclear submarine, which was the first submarine in the Soviet Navy to use titanium alloy materials to construct heat-resistant hulls. The depth of the submarine can reach 700 meters, making it a "big killer" that frightens Western countries.
With the rapid development of China's military industry, many achievements have been made in the military field. The most advanced fighter-20 stealth fighter Made in China uses zliatina titánu beams, which are extremely difficult to process so that the fighter-20 body has an incomparable high strength. It is believed that in the near future, better titanium materials and advanced technology will be applied in China's military industry one after another, creating better performance weapons and equipment, and enhancing the fighting capacity of the People's Army.
