Removal of oxygen in titanium using an electrochemical technique was examined at temperatures around 1223 K with the purpose of obtaining nearly oxygen-free titanium. Titanium and carbon electrodes, immersed in molten CaCl2, served as cathode and anode, respectively, with an external DC source. CaCl2 was employed to produce the deoxidant calcium and to facilitate the reaction by decreasing the activity of the by-product CaO. By applying about 3 V between the electrodes, the calcium potential in CaCl2 was increased at the titanium cathode surface and titanium samples of the cathode could be deoxidized by the electrolytically produced deoxidant calcium or by calcium of high activity in the CaCl2 flux. Resulting O2− species, mainly present as the deoxidation product CaO in the flux, reacted at the carbon anode to form CO (or CO2) gas which was removed from the system. Titanium wires containing 1400 mass ppm oxygen were deoxidized to less than 100 mass ppm, whereas the carbon concentration increased by about 50 mass ppm. In some cases, the oxygen concentration in titanium samples was lowered to a level less than 10 mass ppm that could be determined by conventional inert gas fusion analysis. The behavior of contaminants, such as carbon and nitrogen, is also discussed.
