The study investigated the effects of (Co, Ni) O and Ni-Cr coatings on the Cu-Ni-Fe alloys during oxidation and electrolysis processes, demonstrating that (Co, Ni) O coatings can improve their corrosion resistance, prevent fluorination, and form a protective NiFe2O4 layer.
Cu-Ni-Fe alloys are promising O-2-evolving anode materials for green Al production but their corrosion-resistance needs to be improved. In the present work, (Co,Ni)O top-coats and Ni-Cr bond-coats are deposited by high-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) process on two Cu-Ni-Fe alloys (Cu-rich and Ni-rich). It is firstly shown that (Co,Ni)O materials have a low solubility in the alumina-saturated cryolitic bath at 1000 degrees C. Then, the impact of the coatings and substrate composition on their oxidation behavior at 1000 degrees C in air and during Al electrolysis is studied. Although [Ni-Cr/(Co,Ni)O]-coating significantly increases the dry oxidation resistance of Cu-Ni-Fe alloys, the corrosion-resistance of the [Ni-Cr/(Co,Ni)O]-coated Cu-Ni-Fe anodes is low due to the coating detachment during aluminum electrolysis. However, coating Cu-20Ni-15Fe anodes with a single (Co,Ni)O layer increases its corrosion-resistance, prevents it from fluorination, and leads to the rapid formation of a coherent protective NiFe2O4 layer beneath the (Co,Ni)O top-coat. Under the same conditions, the protective NiFe2O4 layer is not formed on the Ni-25Fe-10Cu anode.
