Abstract

The main aim of this work is to obtain a compact spherical titanium powder by the metallo-thermic reduction. The feedstock is TiO2 (rutile), and aluminum shavings are used as the reducing metal. In the reduction process granules of titanium powder and corundum were obtained. For cleaning titanium powder from corundum, various alkaline and acid processing methods were used. When using the alkaline treatment method of the powder, obtained after reduction of sand and floury rutile by aluminum shavings, its weight decrease was 36-37%.
