What is Sponge titanium

Sponge titanium refers to a porous and lightweight form of titanium metal. It is produced through the Kroll process, where titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4) is reduced with magnesium (Mg) or sodium (Na) in a high-temperature reactor. The resulting sponge titanium has a spongy appearance due to its porous structure, making it suitable for further processing into various titanium products such as ingots, bars, and sheets.
