Abstract

A method of obtaining a desired metal, selected from the group consisting of titanium, aluminium, iron, manganese, hafnium, zirconium, tantalum, vanadium, uranium and tungsten, which comprises reacting a halide of the desired metal with an alkali metal reducing agent at a temperature at which the reducing agent is molten, in order to produce the desired metal and halide of the metal reducing agent.
