ABSTRACT:
In a method for producing titanium metal from tetrachloride which comprises holding magnesium as fused in a space which is provided within an elongated vessel means and is heatable with a furnace means to surround, introducing titanium tetrachloride onto said magnesium to cause a reaction therebetween to form titanium metal product and magnesium chloride byproduct, continuing such reaction until the vessel means is deposited with a substantial volume of titanium metal and recovering the metallic product and chloride byproduct, an improvement which comprises a pressure-regulatable air tight interspace between the vessel means and the furnace means, and keeping said interspace at a pressure, with an inert gas, close to that inside the vessel means while the vessel is heated in the furnace.
