The production process of Titanium Sponge mainly includes two methods: magnesium reduction distillation method (i.e. Claus method) and sodium reduction distillation method, which are applied in industrial production.
The production process of the Claus method is as follows: titanium ore - electric furnace smelting to produce high titanium slag - chlorination to produce titanium tetrachloride - refining and purification to produce refined titanium tetrachloride - magnesium reduction - distillation to produce sponge titanium - finished product crushing and packaging.
The produced titanium sponge still needs to be melted and cast into titanium ingots (or titanium alloys) in a vacuum arc furnace, and then forged or rolled into corresponding pipes, plates, or wires in order to be applied in industry.
The quality is stable, the composition is uniform, the particle size distribution range is reasonable, the packaging density is less than 1.5g/cm³, and the specification is 2----12.7 mm. In the field of aerospace and military industry, the market share continues to lead.
