Effect of Temperature on the Ti-Fe Alloy Prepared by Molten Salt Electrolysis

Abstract

Ti-Fe alloy was prepared by electroanalysis using titanium concentrate as the cathode at 3.1V in CaCl2 molten salt. The temperature is respectively 850°C and 900°C. The comparison of the results under different temperature shows that the temperature has a significant influence on the diffusion process and the electrolytic products. At 850 °C, the final electrolytic product is the TiFe2 and Ti discrete ball-type structure with the particle size of 1 μm, while at 900 °C the final product is the TiFe space net structure with the particle size of 3 μm.
