Title:
METHOD FOR PURIFYING TITANIUM MATERIAL
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/088007
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
This method for purifying a titanium material is a deoxidization method for removing oxygen contained in a titanium material from the titanium material that is formed from pure titanium, a titanium alloy or an intermetallic compound that contains titanium as one of the main components. This method for purifying a titanium material comprises: a first melting step wherein hydrogen is introduced into the titanium material in a molten state by melting the titanium material in a rare gas atmosphere containing 5-70% by volume of hydrogen; and a second melting step wherein oxygen contained in the titanium material is removed together with hydrogen from the titanium material in a molten state by melting the titanium material, into which hydrogen has been introduced during the first melting step, in a rare gas atmosphere. The first melting step and the second melting step are carried out one or more times, respectively.
