Unlocking Industrial Titanium Application Capabilities: Xrun's Vertically Integrated OEM Solutions for Critical Components
Procurement professionals evaluating suppliers for corrosion-resistant titanium components need more than material specifications—they need a partner capable of OEM customization, consistent quality, and reliable delivery. Xrun, operating as Xiangrun (Xi'an) Titanium Materials Technology Co., Ltd., has established China's first fully integrated end-to-end titanium supply chain, covering the entire process from "Coal – Electricity – Titanium Ore – Titanium Sponge – Titanium Processed Materials – Finished Products." This vertical integration enables Xrun to offer tailored solutions for applications such as Titanium Heat Exchanger Plates, Titanium Electrolyzer Bipolar Plates, Titanium Pressure Vessel Shells, and Titanium Chemical Storage Tank Plates.
Problem Definition: The Hidden Risks in Titanium Component Sourcing
Industrial buyers face three persistent challenges when sourcing titanium components for demanding environments: inconsistent material quality from fragmented supply chains, long lead times caused by multiple handoffs between mills and fabricators, and the inability to obtain custom geometries (e.g., thin-gauge cold-rolled strips for heat exchanger plates or precision-stamped electrolyzer frames). A supplier without upstream control over titanium sponge and rolling cannot guarantee traceability or optimize cost for specific OEM requirements.
Industry Background: Growing Demand for Application-Ready Titanium
According to DataM Intelligence, the global titanium market reached approximately USD 32.49 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow to USD 52.52 billion by 2033. The electrolyzer segment alone is forecast to expand at a CAGR of 94.9% from 2024 to 2030 (Grand View Research), directly increasing demand for Titanium Electrolyzer Bipolar Plates and Titanium Electrolysis Cell Frames. China exported USD 1.07 billion in titanium products in 2024 (OEC), representing ~12.5% of global market concentration. As end-users seek higher performance and lower total cost of ownership, the ability to produce components from a single, vertically integrated source becomes a decisive procurement advantage.
Detailed Solution: Xrun's Vertical Integration and OEM Capability
Xrun maintains an annual production capacity exceeding 30,000 tons of titanium rolling coils and strips, and 10,000 tons of titanium composite strips. The company operates 200+ engineers in its R&D team across a 2,466,667 m² factory with over 3,000 employees. Key certifications include Nadcap (certificate #27876241210) for heat treating, EN 9100:2018 via TUV (cert #01 117 1933590), PED 2014/68/EU (cert #01 202 CHN/Q-19 0607.01) for pressure equipment, and DNV (cert #AMMM000035A) for marine and naval applications. These certifications cover the production of titanium and titanium alloy cold-rolled sheets, hot-rolled plates, strips, forgings, and billets. Xrun's main products include Hot-rolled Titanium Coil, Cold-rolled Titanium Coil/Strip, Titanium Sheet, and Titanium Plate in grades Gr.1 through Gr.5, Gr.6, Gr.7, Gr.12, and Gr.23, all meeting ASTM B265/ASME SB-265 standards.
The company offers OEM and ODM production with customization "slit to strip or plate up to the request." Standard lead time is EXW 30–45 days. Quality control can include third-party testing or inspection as needed. Xrun's after-sales service includes remote support, and its export markets cover the EU, USA, and India.
Step-by-Step Breakdown: How Xrun Delivers Custom Titanium Components
- Material Sourcing: Vertical integration begins at the mine; Xrun controls sponge production, eliminating external price volatility and ensuring traceability.
- Rolling & Slitting: Using its state-of-the-art plate production line with automatic control, Xrun produces cold-rolled strips (0.1–3.0 mm thickness) and hot-rolled coils (2.5–12.0 mm thickness) in widths up to 1530 mm and 2000 mm respectively.
- Custom Fabrication: OEM customers provide drawings; Xrun slits, cuts, or further processes the material to exact dimensions for stamping, forming, or welding into final components.
- Quality Assurance: All products are manufactured under Nadcap, EN9100, PED, and DNV quality systems. Third-party inspection is available upon request.
- Packaging & Delivery: Standard lead time is 30–45 days EXW. Remote technical support is provided throughout the product lifecycle.
Use Case: Titanium Heat Exchanger Plates for Municipal Heat Exchanger Manufacturer
Xrun supplied over 300 tons of titanium sheet to a municipal heat exchanger manufacturer with clients in the US, France, and India. The material was ASTM B265 Grade 1 titanium, chosen for its excellent formability in complex corrugated patterns and outstanding resistance to seawater and chloride corrosion. Results: achieved continuous operation for over 10 years with no corrosion or leakage; heat exchange efficiency maintained at ≥ 95% of initial value; maintenance costs reduced by 30%. The lightweight yet high-strength construction extended service life beyond 15 years.
Comparison Table: Xrun vs. Conventional Titanium Component Suppliers
| Capability | Xrun (Vertical Integration) | Typical Single-Process Supplier |
|---|---|---|
| Supply Chain Control | Coal → electricity → sponge → rolled products | Purchases sponge or mill products externally |
| Annual Capacity (Coils/Strips) | 30,000+ tons | Limited to processing step(s) |
| Key Certifications | Nadcap, EN9100, PED, DNV | Often only basic ISO 9001 |
| Custom Slitting | Slit to strip or plate per request | Limited width/thickness range |
| Lead Time (EXW) | 30–45 days | Variable, often 60+ days |
