Abstract
Abstract An inert anode composed of alloy substrate, intermediate oxide film and surface composite coating for aluminium electrolysis has been fabricated. The intermediate oxide film (ZrO 2 /Y 2 O 3 ) provides good adhesion and mutual diffusion resistance between the substrate and the surface coating which consists of α-Al 2 O 3 particles embedded in Au (Au–Pt, Au–Pd, Au–Rh) matrix. The results of electrolysis test revealed that aluminium with high purity (>99.999%) can be produced. It is demonstrated that the inert anode exhibits superior erosion and corrosion resistance during aluminium electrolysis, especially in low-temperature (800 °C) electrolytes.
