Using the thermodynamic modeling analysis of separate and joint aluminothermic reduction of
titanium, zirconium, nickel and molybdenum from oxides have been carried out. The results of
thermodynamic calculation revealed a succession of formation of intermetallic compounds andwere coordinated with differential-thermal research of this process. The use of differential-thermal method has also enabled the peculiarities of the process at the alumino-calcium thermic reduction of oxides.
