The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for the production of titanium metal. Presently, titanium is very expensive to produce. The present invention proposes a less expensive process involving a direct reduction of a titanium halide, such as titanium chloride, within a plasma arc. In order to prevent the reactive products recombining, the reaction is driven away from equilibrium by rapidly cooling the reactive products, in order to precipitate titanium.
