Usually titanium is made by taking the ore Ilmenite and reacting with chlorine. This produces TiCl4 and by products. This product is known in the industry as Tickel Four.

This TiCl4 is very volatile and is now purified by distillation. Then it is reacted with Sodium metal to produce titanium sponge.

TiCl4 + 4Na -----> 4NaCl + Ti.

So the raw materials are Ilmenite, chlorine and sodium metal.
