Melts containing titanium and zirconium chlorides are used in the production of refractory metals and their alloys. In particular, the electrolytic process for producing titanium-zirconium powders was investigated. An equimolecular melt of NaCl and KCl salts containing di- and trivalent titanium chlorides and zirconium tetrachloride was used as the electrolyte. The content of dissolved zirconium in the electrolyte did not exceed 0.8%.

Melts containing chlorides of certain metals have found wide application in chemistry and metallurgy. The production and refining of titanium, zirconium, vanadium and other metals is based on the use of the properties of such melts. In many cases, melts are used under conditions of dynamic interaction with the structural materials of process equipment.
