The primary form
Titanium sponge is produced by reducing titanium tetrachloride. Its porous structure gives it the name.
Sponge is the starting point for most titanium melt products.
Sponge and scrap together
Melt shops blend sponge with scrap and master alloys to reach a target chemistry.
Well-prepared scrap reduces the amount of sponge a melt requires.
