Titanium alloy bar production process of the consumption of electricity and thermal energy is great, and used in the electrolysis recycling reducer process energy consumption has accounted for a large proportion, thus saving magnesium (or sodium) electrolytic process energy consumption is very important. Now, countries are striving to establish electric rate and cell large scale; in addition, the magnesium titanium joint enterprise with liquid magnesium technology, to save electricity, simplify the operation.
目前，鈉還原過程已經處于半連續化階段，但在工業生產中，鎂還原和部分鈉還原操作仍是間歇作業。為了提高生產率，還原反應器正在向大型化方向發展。最大容量的豎式反應器一般每爐產鈦合金棒1．5-2噸，目前有的已達3噸，甚至達5噸的；而臥式反應器最大容量為6—10噸。
At present, sodium reduction process has been in a semi continuous phase, but in the industrial production, the operation is still intermittent operation of magnesium reduction and the reduction of sodium. In order to improve productivity, reducing reactor is developing towards the direction of large-scale. The maximum capacity of the column reactor generally each furnace for producing titanium alloy rod 1.5-2 tons, at present, some already amounted to 3 tons, even up to 5 tons; and the horizontal reactor maximum capacity of 6 - 10 tons.
