Abstract
Disclosed is a method for preparing low-oxygen titanium powders. The method includes (a) separately placing titanium base powders and calcium in a deoxidation container, (b) deoxidizing the titanium base powders by heating an inner part of the deoxidation container at a temperature of 850° C. to 1050° C. so that the calcium is evaporated to make contact with the titanium base powders, (c) removing calcium oxide from surfaces of titanium powders, which are obtained by deoxidizing the titanium base powders in step (b), by washing the titanium powders, and (d) drying the titanium powders subject to the removing of the calcium oxide in step (c).
