High-performance industrial solutions engineered for extreme operational durability and maximum conductivity.
Baoji Special Steel Titanium Industry Co., LTD. is a joint-stock industrial enterprise specializing in the research, development, manufacturing, and sales of titanium, nickel, zirconium, and other metal pipes and metal composite materials. Founded in 1997 and located in Shaanxi Baoji National High-tech Industrial Development Zone, our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility covers an area of 41,000 square meters, delivering high-performance materials globally.
Russia stands as one of the world's most resource-rich nations, boasting massive metallurgical, chemical, and energy sectors. Large-scale mining and refining hubs in regions like Norilsk, the Ural Mountains, and the Kola Peninsula process vast quantities of non-ferrous metals, including copper, nickel, cobalt, and zinc. These extraction processes rely heavily on hydrometallurgy and electrowinning—operations that demand highly conductive and corrosion-resistant materials to maintain continuous production.
Titanium Clad Copper Busbars (also known as titanium-clad copper hanger bars) represent a critical technology in these processes. By metallurgically bonding a highly corrosion-resistant outer layer of titanium to a highly conductive inner core of oxygen-free copper, these composite bars solve a historic engineering challenge. They prevent the highly acidic electrolyte solutions used in copper and nickel extraction from corroding the copper busbar, while maintaining the high electrical current densities required for efficient electrodeposition.
In harsh Siberian climates and highly corrosive chemical plants across the Urals, industrial equipment is subjected to extreme thermal cycles and chemical exposure. Standard copper busbars degrade rapidly in sulfuric acid environments, leading to high maintenance costs, voltage drops, and frequent downtime. Our titanium-clad copper bars, manufactured using advanced explosive cladding and hot extrusion processes, ensure a 100% metallurgical bond with zero void space, offering maximum electrical efficiency and lifespan under the most severe operating conditions.
Russia's leading metallurgical giants, such as Norilsk Nickel and Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company (UMMC), run extensive electrowinning operations. In these tankhouses, titanium-clad copper hanger bars are used to support cathodes and anodes in highly acidic plating baths. The titanium cladding protects the hanger bar from the corrosive acid mist rising from the cells, while the copper core ensures minimal electrical resistance, significantly reducing energy consumption per ton of refined metal.
From Kazan to Volgograd, Russia's chlor-alkali industry produces chlorine, caustic soda, and related chemicals through the electrolysis of brine. The electrolysis cells operate at high temperatures and in atmospheres rich in wet chlorine gas. Titanium's exceptional resistance to chlorine corrosion combined with copper’s conductivity makes titanium-clad copper busbars the ideal choice for power distribution in these plants, preventing electrical fires and reducing energy losses.
Russia's heavy manufacturing, automotive, and aerospace industries in cities like Nizhny Novgorod and Samara require high-quality electroplating. Whether plating chromium, zinc, or precious metals, our titanium-clad copper busbars provide stable current delivery to the plating racks, ensuring uniform coating thickness and preventing contamination of the plating baths by copper corrosion products.
As Russian industries focus on modernization, energy efficiency, and operational safety, the demand for high-performance composite metals has surged. The industry is moving away from mechanically sleeved bars to metallurgically bonded clad bars. Mechanical sleeving leaves micro-gaps between the titanium and copper, which increases electrical resistance, generates localized heat, and eventually leads to internal corrosion. Our state-of-the-art explosive cladding and rolling technology eliminates these gaps, ensuring uniform current distribution and a service life that often outlasts the electrolytic cells themselves.
Furthermore, with the shift toward sustainable industrial practices, reducing energy consumption is a top priority for Russian smelters. The superior electrical contact provided by our precision-machined titanium-clad copper busbars translates directly into lower operating voltages, saving millions of kilowatt-hours annually for large-scale industrial plants.
