The aluminum chloride(AlCl₃) generator is the core equipment for the production of titanium dioxide(titanium pigment) in chlorination process. Due to its exceptional resistance to chloride ion environments and stress-corrosion cracking at high temperature, Inconel 600 is routinely chosen for the construction of the AlCl₃ generator.

Metals-Piping has supplied Inconel 600 materials to a Thai pigment producer (TOA) for the construction of the aluminum chloride generator.

The generator mainly consists of upper cover, lower cover and cylinder which are constructed by hot-rolled ASTM B168 UNS N06600 plates (thickness=12 mm). Aluminum granules and chlorine gas are put into the generator through flanged outlet N₆. Titanium tetrachloride (AlCl4) coming from the preheater is fed into the generator through N₁₁ flanged outlet and it goes out along with AlCl₃ from flanged outlet N₁₀. The outlets N7, N8 and N9 are designed for cooling passage, pressure monitoring, and temperature monitoring respectively. All flanged outlets are made of ASTM B564 Inconel 600 welding neck flanges & ASTM B167 UNS N06600 seamless pipes.
