There would be an almost inexhaustible supply of ores of titanium if high-purity titanium metal could be produced economically in large quantities. The use of titanium would permit much of the scarce nickel and chromium to be made available for other important uses.

It has been found by H. C. Kawecki and E. J. Bielecki that high-purity Na₂TiF₆, K₂TiF₆, and (NH4)₂TiF₆ can be produced from iron-bearing titaniferous raw material, ilmenite ores, or a …
