How is Titanium Made? An Insight into the Production Process
The production process of titanium involves several complex steps, each requiring careful attention to detail. It begins with the extraction of titanium ore from the earth, which is then refined and purified to remove impurities. The purified titanium is then transformed into a sponge-like form through a process called Kroll reduction.
