Titanium products, regarded as a strategic metal by many national governments, play important and irreplaceable roles in national defence and military applications. China has built a large-scale titanium industrial chain, and its status and development pathways will greatly affect the global market. Several researchers contributed a set of reliable statistical data to bridge the knowledge gap in evaluating the industrial layout and the entire structure of China's titanium industry with little literature information regarding the management of metal scrap in the manufacturers of titanium products. To bridge this data gap, we present a dataset of annual metal scrap circularity to uncover China's evolution of the titanium industry today, which contains off-grade titanium sponge, low-grade titanium scrap, and recycled high-grade titanium swarf with the relevant circularity of the titanium industry in China at the national level from 2005 to 2020.
钛产品被许多国家政府视为战略金属，在国防和军事应用中发挥着重要且不可替代的作用。中国已经建立了大规模的钛工业链，其地位和发展路径将极大地影响全球市场。几位研究人员提供了一组可靠的统计数据，以填补评估中国钛工业布局和整体结构的知识空白，因为关于钛产品制造商金属废料管理的文献信息很少。为了填补这一数据空白，我们提供了一组年度金属废料循环利用数据集，以揭示中国钛工业的发展现状，其中包括不合格钛海绵、低等级钛废料和回收的高等级钛切屑，以及 2005 年至 2020 年中国钛工业的相关循环利用数据。
