Abstract

An inert electrode composition suitable for use in the production of metal by the electrolytic reduction of a metal compound dissolved in a molten salt is disclosed. The composition is formulated from a body containing metals and metal compounds designed to undergo displacement reaction upon sintering to form an interwoven network. The body also contains at least one non-reactive material, e.g., metal compound or metal. The interwoven network contains at least a metal compound and a second material, both resulting from the displacement reaction, the second material selected from the group consisting of free metal and a metal alloy or a mixture thereof.

Method of making composition suitable for use as inert electrode having good electrical conductivity and mechanical properties

Patent Ray, Siba P [Pittsburgh, PA]; Rapp, Robert A [Columbus, OH]

An improved inert electrode composition is suitable for use as an inert electrode in the production of metals such as aluminum by the electrolytic reduction of metal oxide or metal salt dissolved in a molten salt bath. The composition comprises one or more metals or metal alloys and metal compounds which may include oxides of the metals comprising the alloy. The alloy and metal compounds are interwoven in a network which provides improved electrical conductivity and mechanical strength while preserving the level of chemical inertness necessary for such an electrode to function satisfactorily.

Method using a electrostatic generator/motor rotor electrode system suitable for installation on the outer surface of an EMB rotor

Patent Post, Richard F.; Hagler, Lisle B.

Electrostatic generator electrodes mounted on the outer surface of a fiber-composite rotor. The conducting strips are mounted with a slight tilt in angle such that the electrodes will experience no tension or compression effects as the rotor spins up or slows down. The compression would come about from effects associated with the Poisson Ratio. This change can eliminate any metal fatigue or loss of bonding that might have arisen if the electrodes were to be aligned with the axis.
