Abstract

An aluminium alloy, suitable as an anode for primary cells (see Group XXXVI) or cathodic protection, consists of 0.001 to 0.15% of Hg, 1 to 20% of one or more addition elements, namely Zn, Mn, Cu, Ag, Cd, Sn, Au, Sb, Mg, Be, Si, Ca, Ba and Sr. optionally up to 1% of Fe and/or Bi, the balance being Al with any impurities. Preferably Mg is present in the amount 0.1 to 15% wherein the corresponding content of Hg is 1/80 th to 1/120 th of that of Mg. For preparing an Al-Zn-Hg alloy, Zn or preferably Zn-Al eutectic (containing 5% Al; M.P. 380 DEG C.) is first dissolved in the mercury, e.g. under pressure and in an inert atmosphere such as argon, and the amalgam obtained is then mixed with the necessary amount of molten Al possibly containing other addition elements, e.g. Cu. The Hg may be introduced into the molten Zn or Zn-Al alloy from a closed siphon tube containing Hg, one end of which is covered by a thin lid of Zn and/or Al and is dipped into the molten metal or alloy. The alloy may be hammer-hardened and heated at 300 DEG C. or 490 DEG C. and water quenched. It may form a corrosion-resistant coating for stronger metals or be used for journal-bearings.
