Abstract:In order to study the new anode materials for zinc electrowinning, Al/Pb-0.2%Ag rolled alloy was produced by composite casting and hot rolling. Then the effect of cooling ways on properties of Al/Pb-0.2%Ag rolled alloy was investigated. As the results of metallographic test indicated, with the increasing of cooling intensity, both Vickers hardness and yield strength of Al/Pb-0.2%Ag rolled alloy increase. Furthermore, the Al/Pb-0.2%Ag rolled alloy, cooled by ice salt, presents the finest grain size and shows the lowest oxygen evolution potential (1.5902 V), while that of alloy cooled by water and air are 1.6143 V and 1.6288 V, respectively. However, the corrosion current density and corrosion rate of the Al/Pb-0.2%Ag rolled alloy, cooled by ice salt, are the highest. This can be attributed to its largest specific surface area, which promotes the contact between the anode and electrolyte.
Key words: Al/Pb-0.2%Ag rolled alloy; cooling way; electrocatalytic activity; electrochemical property; corrosion resistance; zinc electrowinning
