Description

United States Patent 3,337,332 ALUMINUM ALLOYS AND GALVANIC ANODES MADE THEREFROM John T. Reding, Freeport, and John J. Newport III, Lake Jackson, Tex., assignors to The Dow Chemical Company, Midland, Mich., a corporation of Delaware No Drawing. Filed July 23, 1964, Ser. No. 384,773 4 Claims. (Cl. 75-138) This invention relates to sacrificial galvanic anodes and more particularly is concerned with a novel aluminum based alloy exhibiting a high oxidation potential and a useful high electrical output per unit mass of metal; i.e. a high electrochemical equivalent, which is suitable for use in such galvanic anodes.
Theoretically, aluminum should be expected to perform satisfactorliy as a galvanic anode because the element aluminum fulfills the two primary requirements for anodes: (l) a high theoretical oxidation potential (1.80 volts versus calomel reference) and (2) a high theoretical electrical output per unit mass of metal consumed (2.98 amp-hours per gram). In actual practice, however, aluminum has not proved to be satisfactory for use in such applications since it does not exhibit these favorable theoretical properties when used as a sacrificial galvanic anode. The presence of the normally passive oxide surface film on the aluminum apparently presents a barrier to the oxidation of the aluminum metal thereby reducing the effective oxidation potential to about 0.7 volt (as measured in closed circuit at either 250 to 1000 milliamperes/ square foot in a synthetic sea water electrolyte with a standard saturated KCl calomel cell as reference). At such low operating voltages, no cathodic protection is given to ferrous based structures, for example; therefore the anode exhibits no useful electrical output. By comparison, the actual working potential of magnesium is about 1.5 volt and of zinc is about 1 volt.
It is known in the art to add certain elements such as bismuth, gallium or indium to aluminum in an attempt to provide an aluminum anode of commercial utility. Such additions have not been commercially successful in that no marked increase in oxidation potential along with feasible efficiency has been realized.
It is a principal object of the present invention to provide an aluminum based galvanic anode which exhibits both high operating oxidation potential and a useful high ampere-hour output.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a novel aluminum alloy particularly suitable for use as a sacrificial galvanic anode.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a novel aluminum alloy exhibiting a high operating oxidation potential when prepared from relatively impure primary aluminum (-99.5% purity) wherein even large amounts, e.g. 0.3 weight percent, of silicon and iron as impurities do not have a detrimental effect on the useful oxidation potential.
These and other objects and advantages readily will become apparent from the detailed description of the invention presented hereinafter.
The present invention comprises. a novel aluminum based alloy composition containing small amounts of gallium, indium, bismuth and lead.
More particularly, the present composition comprises aluminum and from about 0.005 to about 0.2 weight percent gallium, from about 0.015 to about 0.5 weight percent indium, from about 0.02 to about 3 weight percent bismuth and about 0.02 to about 3 weight percent lead. If desired, larger amounts of lead and/ or bismuth can be employed without detrimentally affecting the properties of the alloy composition.
Preferably the alloy comprises aluminum having alloyed therewith from about 0.01 to about 0.03 weight percent gallium, from about 0.02 to about 0.3 weight percent indium, from about 0.1 to about 1 weight percent bismuth and from about 0.1 to about 1 weight percent lead. All weight percents are based on the total composition weight.
Unexpectedly, the present novel alloy composition when employed as sacrificial galvanic anodes exhibits a satisfactory corrosion pattern, a high operating oxidation potential and a high electrical output per unit mass of metal consumed.
Galvanic anodes can be prepared from the novel composition by use of alloying and casting or fabricating techniques ordinarily employed in the aluminum art. No special metal handling or fabricating operations are required.
Aluminum for use in preparing the present novel alloy composition can be commercial grade (99.5 to 99.9% Al) metal having normal production introduced impurities associated therewith wherein the silicon impurity level can be as high as about 0.1 weight percent and the iron can be as high as about 0.22 weight percent. If desired, higher purity aluminum (e.g. 99.99% purity) can be employed, but this is not necessary to achieve high potentials and anode efficiencies (i.e. high electrical output per unit mass of metal). The alloying metals also can be of high purity or of commercial grade.
The resulting alloy product is not detrimentally degraded by storage in normal atmospheres through air oxidation.
The following example Will serve to further illustrate the present invention but is not meant to limit it thereto.
Example.A number of anodes of the present invention were prepared by melting commercial 99.9% purity aluminum ingot in a graphite crucible positioned within a electric furnace. Requisite amounts of gallium, indium, bismuth and lead alloying ingredients were introduced into the molten aluminum and the resulting mixture stirred to effect dispersion of the alloying ingredients throughout the melt. The resulting alloy Was cast in a graphite mold into cylindrical specimens about 5 /2 inches long and about inch in diameter. The cooling and solidification rate of the castings were controlled such that these simulated cooling rate experienced in production of commercial, field-sized cast anodes.
The performance of the alloys was evaluated by positioning each cast cylindrical specimen (as anode) in a schedule 40 steel can 3 inches in diameter and 6 inches tall (as cathode). Synthetic sea water was used as an electrolyte with about 4 inches of each specimen being immersed. The cells were completed with respect to electrical circuitry, a rectifier being employed to maintain a constant current through a group of cells connected in series.
The results of a number of runs comparing the performance of the novel aluminum alloy anodes of the composition of the present invention with the commercial aluminum used as a base metal for these alloys are summarized in Table I. These results present data showing both the oxidation potential and electrical output per unit mass of metal (efliciency) for the anodes tested.
TABLE I Alloying Ingredient (percent by weight) Run No. Potential Eflieiency (volts) (percent) Ga In Bi Pb 0. 005 0. 03 0. 025 0. 025 1. 64 0. 005 0. 03 0. 40 0. 40 1. 42 62 0. 0]. 0. 03 0. 20 0. 1. 40 57 0. 01 0. 0. 80 0. 1O 1. 47 64 0. 01 0. 20 0. 20 2. 00 1. 28 50 0. O1 0. 20 2. 00 O. 10 1. 48 59 0. 01 0. 03 0. 40 0. 80 1. 47 55 0. 037 0. 02 0. 4 0. 29 1. 53 51 9. 0. 013 0. 28 0. 17 0. 22 1. 52 52 Control (99.9% Al) 0.72
These results clearly show the superiority of the present novel alloy when used as a sacrificial anode with respect to oxidation potential and high electro-chemical equivalent as compared to the aluminum base material. It is to be further noted that the oxidation potential and useful electrical output of the present novel compositions all are in the ranges desired and required for successful function as sacrificial anodes.
Large anodes, D-shaped in cross section, having dimensions of about 3 /2 inches diameter and 12 inches long were prepared from the present novel alloy composition consisting essentially of 0.02 weight percent gallium, 0.03 weight percent indium, 0.5 weight percent bismuth, 0.5 weight percent lead, and balance aluminum. Upon being subjected to actual field tests in flowing sea water for about 9 weeks these anodes performed in a satisfactory manner as sacrificial galvanic anodes in that they exhibited a potential of about 1.45 volts and current efificiencies of about 60 percent.
These novel alloys all exhibit a high oxidation potential and electrical output and therefore are suitable for use as sacrificial anodes for applications such as galvanic pigments in paint films, galvanic anode materials for primary batteries, sacrificial galvanic coatings for sheet steel and other metals cathodic to aluminum and sacrificial anodes for cathodic protection. Additionally these compositions find utility as an active ingredient in flares, for use in chemical reductions and in the preparation of aluminum alkyls.
