Abstract
The equilibrium between solid titanium metal, di‐, and trivalent titanium chlorides dissolved in an melt was measured under carefully controlled experimental conditions. Divalent titanium was found to be the predominant valence state in the melt, for temperatures of 700°–800°C. The “apparent” equilibrium constant (mole fractions replacing activities) for the reaction. was calculated and found to be a function of the total titanium concentration in the melt. Limited data indicated that the equilibrium is exothermic in agreement with expectation.Keywords
