On Thermodynamic Possibility of Retort Steel Components Interaction with Titanium Chlorides and Oxygen During Kroll Process

Thermodynamic analysis was carried out of the possible effects of interaction reactions of the main components of the metallic retort (Fe, Ni, Cr, Mn) with titanium chlorides and with oxygen, during magnesium thermal method of titanium obtaining. The temperature dependences of DG for the conversion of metals into their chlorides and oxides allowed to establishe the temperature ranges in which the above reactions take place.
