Abstract: A metal titanium production apparatus includes: a reductor that subjects titanium tetrachloride to a reduction process in presence of bismuth and magnesium to obtain a liquid alloy containing titanium and the bismuth; a segregator that subjects the liquid alloy to a segregation process to obtain a precipitate; and a distillator that subjects the precipitate to a distillation process to obtain metal titanium, and the distillator sets an atmosphere so as to preferentially vaporize the bismuth attached to the precipitate and then sets the atmosphere so as to vaporize the bismuth forming the precipitate.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a linear friction joining device which includes: a pressing device for pressing a second member onto a first member in a pressing direction; a vibrator for relatively vibrating the first member and the second member; a controller which is configured to bring the second member into contact with the first member by a position control, which depends on a measurement result of position sensors, to change the position control to a load control, which depends on a measurement result of load sensors, and to increase a pressing load toward a joining load; and a joining load reaching time adjuster which is configured to adjust a length of a joining load reaching time which is between the time when the position control is changed to the load control and the time when the pressing load reaches the joining load.
