Abstract: Process for producing a titanium alloy material, such as a titanium aluminum alloy, are provided. The process includes reduction of TiCl4, which includes a titanium ion (Ti4+), through intermediate ionic states (e.g., Ti3+) to Ti2+, which may then undergo a disproportionation reaction to form the titanium aluminum alloy.
