Primary E.\'urriiri0rWi1liam E. Schulz [57] ABSTRACT A process is disclosed for improving the oxidative resistance of amorphous carbon or graphite articles. The process comprises applying a solution of water; an oxide or hydroxide of a group 2 metal: a member of the group consisting of nitric acid; sodium nitrite and sodium carbonate; and horic acid or sodium tetruhorate.
5 Claims. I Drawing Figure 1 PROCESS FOR THE TREATMENT OF AMORPHOUS CARBON OR GRAPHITE MANUFACTURED ARTICLES, FOR THE PURPOSE OF IMPROVING THEIR RESISTANCE TO OXIDATION, SOLUTIONS SUITABLE FOR ATTAINING SUCH PURPOSE AND RESULTING I PRODUCT This is a division, of application Ser. No. 108,739, filed Jan. 22, i971 and now US. Pat. No. 3,8l4,699.
The present invention refers to a process designed to give amorphous carbon or graphite manufactured articles greater resistance to oxidation at high temperature', reference is made. in addition. more particularly to a series of solutions designed to make the said manufactured articles more resistant to oxidation at high temperature, and to the said manufactured articles which are obtained by such processes and solutions. it is known that carbon materials whether amorphous or crystalline are, in view of their particular electric. mechanical and thermal properties, used in many types of industries as electrodes for furnaces in the iron and steel industry, or. again as electrodes, in the production of aluminum, or as refractories, crucibles, resistors, etc.
Despite their wide field of use, carbon materials have always found a limit in their easy oxidability at high temperatures.
Proposals have been made for coverings protecting the jackets on the surface of the manufactured article, with a base of silicons, polysiloxans, colloidal silica, carbides,- nitrides and silicides of refractory metals, etcx, these systems are not the best, both because of the complexity of the operations and equipments required for the coating, and because the protective layer comes away fairly easily, and also owing to the addition of elements which are sometimes undesired, which may happen when manufactured articles protected in this way are used as electrodes or refractories in the iron and steel industry or in metallurgy in general,
Trials have also been made with impregnation with solutions having a phosphoric base, either alone or in combination with compounds such as ammonium phosphate, magnesium or zinc phosphate, chlorides of alkaline metals, sodium tetraborate, etc. But also these methods do not ensure good protection against oxidation except at relatively low temperatures.
The purpose of the present invention is to supply a process and solutions capable of making carbon or graphite manufactured articles resistant to the oxidation caused by air, molten metals, or other high temperature oxidating means, in a wider temperature-range than that hitherto covered. Another. purpose, equally important, of this invention is to supply carbon or graphite manufactured articles capable of resisting high temperature oxidation better than those so far known. The ways to achieve the above objectives and the advantages deriving from the present invention will be iilustrated in the description given hereunder.
The objectives of the present invention'are achieved by impregnating. or covering in some other way, the carbon or graphite manufactured articles, using a solution composed of:
water phosphoric acid one or more compounds selected in one or more of the groups formed by the salts. oxides, and hydroxides of a metal of the 2nd group of the periodic system one or both the components of the group formed by boric acid and sodium tetraborate decahydrate one or more compounds selected from among nitric acid, sodium nitrite, and sodium carbonate. v 5 The advantages of using such a composition with regard to protection from oxidation will be evident in the examples which follow. Other immediate advantages of these solutions consist in not using hydrochloric acid as solvent and in providing for relatively low concentrations of phosphoric acid, thus making the preparation, handling and application of the solutions easier; furthermore the process selected for the preparation of the manufactured articles does not require their bnklng. so that it is simpler and more economical thun other processes, which do require it.
According to the general idea of the present invention, the solutions inhibiting oxidation may have a percentage composition by weight varying within the ranges indicated below:
water 57.0 76.0; one or more compounds selected from among the salts, oxides and hydroxides ofa metal ofthe 2nd group (H 6.0; one or both the components of the group formed by sodium metaborate decuhydmte and boric acid 16.9 2.07: phosphoric acid 26.0 10.0; one or more compounds selected from amongnitric acid. sodium nitrate. and sodium carbonate 0.0 6.0;
A study of such solutions has shown that they can be divided into two groups, according to whether sodium tetraborate decahydrate or boric acid is used.
in the two cases the composition of the solutions can vary within the following limits, again expressed as a percentage composition by weight:
WHICI' ho 57.0-67.0; phosp rscac one or more compounds selected from among the salts. oxides. and hydroxides of: metal ofthe 2nd group boric acid one or more compounds selected from among nitric acid, sodium nitrite. and sodium carbonate The results obtained by using the solutions described in the present invention as protective solutions are set forth in the following examples.

By means of the thermobalance test. the same determinations as in sample 5 were made. The results obtained are shown in tables 1 and 2.
in order to emphasize the advantages of the series of solutions covered by the present invention, a comparison was made between samples treated according to examples 5 and 6 and other samples, of which one not treated (sample A) and another treated with a solution and a method already known in technique (sample B). All the samples were of course obtained from the same zone of the same electrode.
A non-treated sample (sample A) was tested directly; on the thermobalance, with the procedure set forth in example I; the same determinations as in sample 5 were carried out. The results are shown in tables 1 and 2.
The other sample (sample B) was treated with the solution and the method which seem to have given the best results in known technique. Such solution has the following percentage composition by weight:
In order better to evidence the properties of the solutions covered by the present invention, other experiments were carried out, the results of which are shown hereunder.
Table 3 shows the percent losses in weight after a stay by the samples of 4 hours at the temperature t.
The tests were made in a muffle with an air circulation obtained by natural draught and the samples. about 160 g, were placed in a magnesite crucible when the muffle had reached the working temperature.
The percentage increase in weight of the samples.
due to impregnation, was always at least 5 percent after seasoning.
Tables 4 and 5 show the results obtained on the thermobalance when using the solution of example 5. but varying once the calcium oxide and once the phosphoric acid respectively. and maintaining the other components constant in order to demonstrate the importance of the composition of the solutions for purposes of good protection; it is found that the percentages used in the solution of example 5 are the most suitable ones.
