The electrolytic reduction is a type of electrolysis. The oxides , hydroxide and chlorides of metals in fused state are electrically reduced by using this method. The metals are extracted at the cathode . Certain metals like Na , K, Mg , Ca , Al are obtained by electrolytic reduction process.
 
So what is common between all the metals is that the metals are much more reactive and the reduction of the metal oxides to the corresponding metal is very much difficulty in other methods.
But electrolysis can easily do the task.
 
I hope it clears!!
