Abstract
The beginning of metallothermic reduction-based studies in Turkey was a result of studies on the carbothermal synthesis of advanced ceramics and ferroalloys at Istanbul Technical University (ITU), Metallurgical Engineering Department in the late 1980s. By the 1990s, the first metallothermic reduction experiments were carried out to develop alternative production routes for ferroalloys, and studies on SHS began by the 2000s in Turkey. Turkish companies use metallothermic reduction processes in all their processes or in some steps of their processes, such as primary magnesium production, production of steel deoxidation agents from Al drosses, and production of low carbon ferrochromium.
