Explanation
rutile (TiO2) and the like are chlorinated into titanium tetrachloride, and then reduced with active metals (such as magnesium, etc.) to obtain spongy metal titanium. It is the main raw material for industrial titanium alloys, with high productivity and low cost. The storage and transportation of titanium sponge particles are generally conducted in sealed hydrogen filled cans to prevent oxygen adsorption and oxidation on the surface of titanium sponge particles.
