Embodiment -1

[0027] Aluminum electrolytic graphite cathode material expansion and creep were measured by a modified Rapoport-Saoilenko apparatus, as figure 1 , the graphite crucible 7 is used to hold the molten electrolyte 9, a corundum insulating gasket 10 is added between the cathode sample and the bottom of the crucible for electrical insulation, and the electrolytic current flows into the cathode sample from the bottom anode conductive rod 13 and then conducts electricity from the cathode The rod 6 flows out, the high temperature required for the experiment is provided by the heating resistance wire 11 in the furnace, and the protective atmosphere flows into the furnace through the air inlet 12 to avoid oxidation of the cathode sample, graphite crucible, etc., which will affect the test accuracy. Above-mentioned test system is placed vertically on the pressurized base 14 of the testing machine, and the main body frame 15 is made of high-strength steel to ensure that the whole equipment ...

[0033] The experimental test equipment system is the same as that of Example 1.

[0034]Adopt semi-graphite cathode material, sample size, test condition embodiment 1 are identical, obtain the steady-state creep curve of semi-graphite cathode material and carry out fitting and obtain steady-state creep equation, as Figure 4 shown.

[0035] In the same manner as in Example 1, the stress-strain curve and the maximum ultimate strain ε were measured max ,Such as Figure 5 As shown, the remaining creep life of the semi-graphite cathode material is calculated by substituting it into the steady-state creep equation, as shown in Table 1.

Embodiment -3

[0037] The experimental test equipment system is the same as that of Example 1. Adopt graphite-titanium boride composite cathode material, sample size, test condition embodiment 1 are identical, obtain its steady-state creep curve and carry out fitting and obtain steady-state creep equation, as Image 6 shown. In the same manner as in Example 1, the stress-strain curve and the maximum ultimate strain ε were measured max ,Such as Figure 7 As shown, the remaining creep life is obtained by substituting into the steady-state creep linear equation of the graphite-titanium boride composite cathode material, as shown in Table 1.

[0038] The calculation and evaluation results of the electrolytic creep residual life of three different cathode materials, graphitized, semi-graphitic and graphite-titanium boride composite, show that the remaining cathode life is mainly related to its ultimate deformation capacity and steady-state creep rate. Graphite-titanium boride cathode has bette...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for evaluating the damage failure life of an aluminum electrolysis cathode material and belongs to the technical field of materials. The method comprises the followingsteps: measuring an expansion-creep curve of a cathode material under a selected service condition on line in real time by adopting a material testing machine, controllable constant pressure and an improved Rapoport-Samoilenko device; carrying out fitting through a mathematical method to obtain parameters A and B in a linear equation epsilon = A + Bt of strain epsilon of the cathode material along with time t in a steady-state creep stage under the condition; besides, under the same electrolysis and pressure conditions, when the cathode material enters a steady-state creep initial stage, deactivating the cathode material; performing a compressive strength test to obtain the limit strain epsilon max of the material; taking the result as a creep failure life end point; and calculating and evaluating the remaining life time of the cathode material in the service process. According to the invention, creep damage data of the cathode sample are accurately measured on line in a certain timeperiod; and the residual life of the cathode material under the selected service condition is evaluated, so that a short-time, simple and feasible evaluation technical method can be provided for screening various commercial carbon cathode materials and analyzing and improving the quality and the service life of a cathode product.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for evaluating the damage failure life of an aluminum electrolysis cathode material, belonging to the field of material technology. Background technique [0002] Modern metal aluminum is produced by electrolysis. During the electrolysis process, the aluminum electrolytic carbon cathode material is infiltrated by Na and electrolyte components to cause expansion. However, this expansion is usually restrained by the steel channel shell, so a built-up stress develops in the cathode material of the electrolyser. Under this stress, the cathode material will also suffer from creep damage. The internal damage of the cathode material is continuously accumulated during the creep deformation process, resulting in deformation, cracking and failure of the cathode carbon block, which seriously affects the overall service life of the electrolytic cell. [0003] As a typical elastoplastic material, carbon cathode material will exhib...
