Zusammenfassung:To provide a method for producing metals that can cope with a reduction of production of metals while keeping power consumption at a relatively low level.SOLUTION: A method for producing metals is to produce metals by molten salt electrolysis. In the method, an electrolysis device 1 is used that includes an electrolytic cell 2 to store molten salt bath inside and two or more sets of electrodes 3 including an anode 3a to be brought into contact with the molten salt bath and a cathode 3b; in at least one period from the start of use of the electrolysis device 1 to a lapse of 30 months, application of voltage to at least one pair of electrodes 3 out of the two or more sets of electrodes 3 is stopped; and the current density at the remainder of the electrode 3 is controlled to 0.5 A/cm2 or more.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】消費電力を比較的小さく抑えつつ、金属の減産に良好に対応することができる金属の製造方法を提供する。【解決手段】この発明の金属の製造方法は、溶融塩電解により金属を製造する方法であり、内部に溶融塩浴を貯留させる電解槽2と、溶融塩浴に接触させる陽極3a及び陰極3bを含む二組以上の電極3とを備える電解装置1を使用し、前記電解装置1の使用開始から30か月が経過するまでの間の少なくとも一時期に、二組以上の電極3の一部であって少なくとも一組の電極3間への電圧の印加を停止し、前記電極3の残部での電流密度を0.5A/cm2以上とするというものである。【選択図】図1
