Abstract

The invention provides a Cu-Ni-Fe-based alloy inert anode material and a heat treatment method thereof and relates to a high temperature fused salt aluminium electrolysis alloy inert anode material and a homogenization heat treatment method thereof. The Cu-Ni-Fe-based alloy inert anode material is characterized by comprising the following components in mass ratio: 28-72% of Cu, 18-42% of Ni and 12-34% of Fe, wherein the sum of the mass percentages of the three elements is 92-100%. The alloy is subjected to vacuum homogenizing heat treatment, so that a uniform homogeneous structure or a fine second phase is dispersed and distributed on a uniform anode base. When the inert anode material is electrolyzed in a KF-NaF-AlF3-Al2O3 system, efficiency can reach up to 95%, and impurity content of primary aluminium is lower than 0.5%.

Description

technical field [0001] A Cu-Ni-Fe-based alloy inert anode material and a heat treatment method thereof relate to an inert anode material used in high-temperature molten salt aluminum electrolysis alloys and a homogenization heat treatment method thereof. Background technique [0002] As a light metal, the application of aluminum and its alloys is of great significance to global energy conservation. The production of primary aluminum still uses the Hall-heroult process so far. While the electrolysis process consumes a lot of electricity, it also emits a lot of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and fluorocarbons. In order to pursue the sustainable development of the primary aluminum electrolysis production process, it is necessary to solve a series of problems such as huge energy consumption and serious environmental pollution. [0003] The development of energy-saving and environment-friendly aluminum electrolysis technology based on inert electrode materials is the fu...
