Abstract

This paper presents the results of determining the cast iron’s properties, which is used in the installation of anodes in the electrolytic production of aluminum. The research methods and applied instruments used for metallographic analysis and chemical composition analysis are described. The results of metallographic analysis of cast iron microstructure “before” and “after” electrolysis are presented. The cast iron’s chemical composition was analyzed by using an X-ray fluorescence spectrometer. The results of experimental melting for testing the casting properties of cast iron for fluidity in a spiral sample are presented.

Keywords
