The complicating conditions of the high-temperature (700–900°C) process for obtaining titanium powders by metallothermic reduction of titanium chlorides from melts in a stirred reactor are the increased tendency of freshly formed metal particles to sinter together and weld onto components of the processing equipment ...
The article presents the results of laboratory studies of the process for producing unalloyed titanium powders by sodium-thermal reduction of lower titanium chlorides from melts.
