Abstract

Titanium rich alloy powders containing at least 1% of at least one alloying element are produced by reacting a liquid mixture of metal halides consisting predominantly of titanium tetrachloride and a minor amount of at least one halide of at least one alloying element with molten sodium in an inert atmosphere, the walls of the reaction vessel being maintained at a temperature of at least 200 DEG C., grinding the reaction product and removing halide therefrom by leaching. The halide mixture may be a solution or slurry of alloying metal halide in titanium tetrachloride and may be formed before or during addition to molten sodium. To facilitate removal of the reaction products from the reaction vessel the reaction may be carried out at a temperature between 200 DEG C. and the melting point of sodium chloride, where alloying metal chloride is used, or between 200 DEG C. and the melting point of the mixture of sodium halides produced, where halides other than chlorides are added, the reaction mixture being agitated. The reaction may be carried out in a reactor provided with mixing means and containing a non-adherent particulate bed of reaction products remaining from a previous batch. An example is given of the producton of a titanium-tin alloy.
