Abstract：The preparation techniques of titanium alloys at low cost were reviewed, including the addition of return material, short process preparation, alloying and cold bed furnace melting. The new low-cost titanium alloy preparation technology developed in China was introduced. It was pointed out that the new Kroll smelting method could be the development direction of low cost titanium alloy smelting.
