Research and development of a nanoinoculated cast iron composition for aluminum electrolyser anode stubs

Results are presented of research and industrial testing for cast iron modified with carbon nanostructures for use in filling stubs of pre-baked aluminum electrolyser anodes. Modified cast iron, prepared under iron casting conditions of operating aluminum production, is 28% stronger than normal grey...

Summary:Results are presented of research and industrial testing for cast iron modified with carbon nanostructures for use in filling stubs of pre-baked aluminum electrolyser anodes. Modified cast iron, prepared under iron casting conditions of operating aluminum production, is 28% stronger than normal grey cast iron and more acid resistant; the weight loss on treatment with acids is 17% less compared with normal cast iron.
