Patent abstract
The present invention relates to a process wherein an intermediate form of titanium, namely titanium sponge, is produced by reduction of a feedstock of titanium in a reactant liquid bath, where the feedstock, titanium tetrachloride, is reduced by molten magnesium to titanium sponge, and the reactant liquid bath is inductively stirred during the reduction process. The reduction process with induced stirring is performed in an electric induction cold crucible, with or without a liner. Subsequent purification and melting of the titanium sponge can be accomplished in the electric induction cold crucible so that purified titanium can be supplied from the cold crucible.
