Definitions
- the present invention relates to new composite materials based on refractory metals. It also relates to liquid aluminum wettable components made using these new materials and a method of manufacturing coatings of these materials. Finally, it relates to the use of these components in electrolysis cells for the production of aluminum.
- Aluminum is conventionally produced by the Hall-Héroult process in electrolysis cells by reducing alumina dissolved in molten cryolite electrolyte at temperatures of about 960X according to the following reaction:
- the carbon of the anode is consumed during the reaction and there is release of CO 2 during the production of aluminum.
- the counter electrode or cathode ⁇ 3 is also made of carbon.
- Today, more and more graphite blocks are used as cathodes to have better electrical conductivity and lower energy losses in the process.
- the aluminum is deposited at the bottom of the cell and forms a conductive liquid aluminum layer on the surface of the cathodes. This aluminum can react with graphite to form an aluminum carbide (AI 4 C 3 ). This is one of the causes that limit the life of cathodes (typically 3 to 8 years). Since liquid aluminum does not wet the graphite, a relatively thick layer of liquid aluminum is usually maintained at the bottom of the cells (15 to 25 cm).
- the resistance of the electrolyte in the gap between the anode and the liquid aluminum conductive layer produces a voltage drop of about 1.5 volts for an ACD of 4.5 cm and for a typical current density of 0. , 7 A / cm 2
- This ohmic drop is the main source of energy loss in the process.
- intense research has been conducted to develop wettable liquid aluminum cathode coatings to reduce the thickness of the aluminum layer at the bottom of cells. By doing so, also reduce the anode-cathode distance.
- the coating must be a good electrical conductor and improve the resistance to erosion cathodes to increase their life.
- the open porosity on the surface of the cathodes which typically represents 15 to 20% of the volume of the electrodes, is a source of deterioration when the aluminum and / or sodium from the electrolyte is able to penetrate and chemically react with it.
- a field of research therefore consists in finding products and methods for clogging these pores so as to increase the lifetime of the electrodes.
- the example of the invention described in the application mentioned below is illustrative in this respect. .
- Graphite Cathode for Electrolysis of Aluminum "describes a graphite cathode having in its surface pores a cooked carbon product at a temperature below 1600 ° C which increases the erosion resistance of said cathode.
- refractory material is understood to mean a material with a very high melting point, typically greater than 1800 ° C.
- carbon several types have been used such as coal, anthracite, coke and graphite.
- T iB 2 The first and most widely used refractory material is T iB 2, which has been known for many years for its wettability, good electrical conductivity and inertness in liquid aluminum.

When exposed to high temperatures in the electrolysis bath, the compound produces aluminum oxide which binds the refractory particles to each other and to the cathode.
- 14-WO2002 / 070783 in the name of MOLTECH INVENT SA and entitled "Aluminum-Wettable Porous Ceramic Material” describes a material comprising a liquid aluminum resistant ceramic such as alumina and an aluminum-wetted material comprising a metal oxide or a partially oxidized metal including Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu or Zn that reacts or reacts with Al (I) to form a surface containing alumina, aluminum and the metal derived from the metal oxide.

- liquid aluminum wettable cathode coatings are pressing and bonding techniques in the case of tiles of dense refractory materials that are adhered to or applied to the surface of the graph or coatings.
- application techniques aerosol style paint or spray followed by thermal annealing when the refractory product is in the form of a paste or an aqueous or colloidal solution.
- thermal deposition techniques have never been proposed except for the plasma technique (Air Plasma Spray - APS) because when it comes to melting ceramics or refractory materials, very high temperatures of a few thousand degrees Celsius are required (typically between 2000 and 3500 0 C). Only a plasma technique involving ionized gases makes it possible to reach these temperatures and these energy levels.
- the invention below is an example.
- WO 1999/002764 issued to MOLTECH INVENT SA and entitled "A Drained Cathode CeII for the Production of Aluminum” describes a drained cell in which the surface of the wettable cathode is dimensionally stable and inclined thus allowing the liquid aluminum produced from the surface.
- the distance between the anode and the inclined cathode (ACD) is not more than 3 cm.
- the inventors realized that there was a connection to be made between the cathode coating materials of the electrolysis cells and the grain refiners in the electrolysis industry.
- aluminum two topics that at first sight seem unrelated.
- Grain refiners are additives that are added in small amounts to molten aluminum alloys to refine their microstructure during solidification or in other words, to reduce the size of the aluminum crystals. A fine and uniform microstructure improves the properties of the solidified metal and facilitates its subsequent shaping.
- the surface of the grain refiner acts as a heterogeneous nucleation site to crystallize the alloy. To act effectively, the liquid aluminum must well wet the surface of the grain refiner.
- the system Al-Ti-B (for example, Al-5Ti-1B in wt%) and the Al-Ti-C system (eg Al 3Ti-O 15C 1% by weight).
- the best known, the Al-Ti-B system consists of small particles of TiB 2 in an aluminum matrix.
- Cos ⁇ c S 1 Cos ⁇ 1 + S 2 Cos ⁇ 2
- ⁇ c is the contact angle of the liquid with the composite material
- ⁇ 1 and 02 are the respective contact angles on the ceramic and the refractory aluminide
- the first term of the preceding equation becomes negligible (cos ⁇ 1 ⁇ 0) and if the wettability on the aluminide is very high and that ⁇ 2 neighbor the 0 (cos ⁇ 2 ⁇ 1) so under these conditions, the cosine of the contact angle on the composite becomes directly proportional to the surface of the refractory metal aluminide. The higher this surface, the smaller the contact angle on the composite.
- the contact angle on the composite would be 72.5 °, ie cos "1 (0.3) .
- a composite consisting of refractory ceramic grains (eg NbB 2 or NbC grains) with refractory metal aluminide grain boundaries (eg Al 3 Nb), plus the volume fraction and therefore the surface fraction of grain boundaries will be large, the wettability of the composite will be high.
- refractory ceramic grains eg NbB 2 or NbC grains
- refractory metal aluminide grain boundaries eg Al 3 Nb
- the present invention firstly relates to a composite predominantly composed of carbide and / or nitride and / or boride of refractory metals or aluminum (C-N-B-MR). It contains in volume at least 1% but less than 50% of refractory metal aluminide (AI-MR) and less than 50% of a residual component (R) which stabilizes the composite.
- This composite is in the following form:
- MR is one or more refractory metals of the IV, V or VI series from table to periodic;
- CNB-MR is one or more carbides, nitrides or borides of the refractory metal or metals mentioned above and / or one or more carbides, nitrides or borides of aluminum chosen from Al 4 C 3 , AlN, AIB 2 and Al 1.67B22;
- the residual component is usually multiphase and may contain aluminum carbide (AI 4 C 3 ) if the composite contains carbides and a excess of aluminum or carbon and / or aluminum nitride (AIN) if the composite contains nitrides and an excess of aluminum or nitrogen and / or aluminum borides (AIB 2 , AI V67 B 22 ) if the composite contains borides and an excess of aluminum or boron.
- This residual component may also contain one or more mixed compounds of the MR type t Al u (CN-Fi) v if the composite contains carbides, nitrides or borides and an excess (I refractory metals MR.

- the CNB-MR is a carbide, nitride or aluminum boride (AI 4 C 3 , AlN, AIB 2 , AI1.67B22) which is not an electrical conductor
- the composite itself is thanks to its component AI-MR which it is conductive.
- all the aluminides of the refractory metals of the series IV 1 V and Vl are good electrical conductors compared to graphiie.
- the contact angle on the composite would vary between 89 ° (cos "1 (0.01)) and 60 ° (cos " 1 (0.5)) when the volume or surface fraction "y" of the aluminide component in the composite varies between 0.01 (1%) and 0.5 (50%).
