The invention provides a low-adhesion long-life crust breaking hammer based on
cathode scrap steel reinforcement and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
aluminum electrolysis. The preparation method comprises the following steps: taking
cathode scrap steel generated by electrolytic aluminum overhaul as a main
raw material, adding
chromium,
nickel,
boron,
silicon iron and
lanthanide rare earth metal, and
smelting to prepare an
alloy melt; a pre-
coating layer is formed on the surface of a preheated crust breaking hammer base body through a dip plating process, then hot
extrusion is conducted through a special mold, and a compact and shaped reinforced
protection layer which is in metallurgical bonding with the base body is obtained at a time. According to the prepared crust breaking hammer head, the protective layer generates a
carbide hard phase in situ by utilizing carbon in
cathode waste steel, and the crust breaking hammer head has high
hardness and extremely low
electrolyte molten salt adhesion and is high in
bonding strength and good in
impact resistance. According to the method, high-value utilization of the cathode
scrap steel is achieved, the process is simple and efficient, the service life of the obtained product under the complex working conditions of electrolytic
aluminum high temperature,
corrosion and
impact is remarkably prolonged, and the important economic and environment-friendly value is achieved.
