Development of an inert ceramic anode to reduce energy consumption in magnesium production. Technical progress report, January 1, 1992--December 31, 1992
Raw material (titania doped with Ta{sub 2}O{sub 5})selection, development of clip casting as greenware forming method, and sintering studies have been completed. External side and shape of the ceramic portion of the anode has been set. Wall thickness is controlled by slip and casting time. Sintered tubes have been made with wall thicknesses 2.5-5.0 mm; optimum thickness will be determined. Modeling studies show that the conceptual design should survive the applied stresses. Results of strength testing of slip cast and sintered titania-Ta{sub 2}O{sub 5} exceed values used in the model. Materials causing bonding of the core`s metal component and the ceramic particulate filler and the ceramic shell need further study. 6 refs, 8 figs, tabs.
