The present invention is a method for producing Ti or a Ti alloy through
reduction of TiCl.sub.4 by Ca, which can produce the high-purity metallic
Ti or high-purity Ti alloy. A molten salt containing CaCl.sub.2 and
having Ca dissolved therein is held in a reactor vessel, and a metallic
chloride containing TiCl.sub.4 is reacted with Ca in the molten salt to
generate Ti particles or Ti alloy particles in a molten CaCl.sub.2
solution, which allows enhancement of a feed rate of TiCl.sub.4 which is
of a raw material of Ti, and also allows a continuous operation.
Therefore, the high-purity metallic Ti or the high-purity Ti alloy can
economically be produced with high efficiency. Further, the method by the
present invention eliminates the need of replenishment of expensive
metallic Ca and of the operation for separately handling Ca which is
highly reactive and difficult to handle.
