A new corrosion‐resistant material for use as an inert anode in electrolytic molten salt aluminium extraction systems

Abstract

The spinel NiFe₂O₄ has been identified as being a potentially successful anti‐corrosion ceramic that can be used in aluminium electrolysis under molten salt corrosive conditions (970°C). The evaluation and fabrication processing of NiFe₂O₄ has been studied in this paper. According to the analysis and comparison of material properties, it has been concluded that fabrication technology for making anti‐corrosion electrode material would not be exceptionally difficult and therefore that the material has a strong potential for use in this service.
