Abstract
A method for the production of zirconium alloy consists in the electrolytic precipitation of zirconium from fused electrolytic salts containing zirconium whilst a molten metal which is to form part of the alloy is employed as a cathode, the electrolysis being stopped before the melting point of the zirconium alloy has risen to the boiling point of the cathode, and the cathode metal then being distilled off to increase the zirconium content of the alloy. As an example of the method, a melt containing 28 per cent potassium chloride, 22 per cent sodium chloride and 50 per cent zirconium tetrachloride is electrolyzed (see Group XXXVI) at 750 DEG C. so as to produce an alloy containing 15 per cent zirconium and 84.5 per cent zinc. When the alloy is heated in a finely pulverized state at about 800 DEG C. the zirconium content may be raised to 98 per cent. A similar melt but containing also magnesium chloride may be used to produce a zirconium-zinc-magnesium alloy containing 12 per cent zirconium, 80 per cent zinc and 8 per cent magnesium. This alloy can be heated to result in a metal containing 40 per cent zirconium, 45 per cent zinc and 15 per cent magnesium. An alloy of zirconium, magnesium and zinc or cadmium may be produced by first obtaining the alloy of zirconium and zinc or cadmium and then after distilling off part of the zinc or cadmium dissolving the alloy in melted magnesium. Zinc zirconium alloy and cadmium zirconium alloy may be dissolved together in melted magnesium to produce a magnesium-zinc-cadmium-zirconium alloy.
