The invention discloses a method for preparing an aluminum-
titanium intermediate
alloy through aluminothermic self-reduction of
molten salt, which comprises the following steps: selecting
cryolite molten salt for
aluminum electrolysis as a reaction medium, taking molten aluminum as a
reducing agent and taking TiO2 as a
raw material; the method comprises the steps that
cryolite molten salt with a certain proportion is firstly put into a reduction device, a certain amount of TiO2
powder is added, stirring is conducted for 10-30 min under the
inert atmosphere condition, and TiO2 is sufficiently and rapidly dissolved in the molten salt; molten aluminum is added under the
inert atmosphere and the stirring condition, after aluminothermic self-reduction is conducted for 10-60 min, standing is conducted for a certain time to enable an
alloy phase and molten salt to be layered, and then a
metal phase and molten salt are separated. According to the invention, the environment-friendly TiO2 is adopted as a
raw material to directly prepare the aluminum-
titanium intermediate
alloy, so that the production cost is greatly reduced; the heat generated by aluminum reduction is used for maintaining the reaction, the molten aluminum is prevented from being oxidized in the
inert atmosphere, the
dissolution speed of TiO2 dissolved in
cryolite melt can be increased through reduction in the stirring environment, the dynamic condition of aluminum reduction is also strengthened, and the speed of in-situ generation of the aluminum-
titanium intermediate alloy is greatly increased.
