摘要:

为探索Mg-Li-Al合金新的制备方法,本课题以KCl-LiCl-AlCl3-MgCl2-KF为电解质体系,惰性电极(钼电极)为阴极,通过熔盐电解制备Mg-Li-Al合金。为找到制备合金的较佳的工艺条件,本文讨论了影响电流效率的一些主要因素,也讨论了合金共电沉积的基本条件。通过实验验证,当电流密度大于9.0A/cm2条件下,Mg2+、Li+、Al3+同时在阴极放电,共电沉积析出Mg-Li-Al合金,并且放电时槽电压保持在6~9V之间。通过研究各工艺参数对实验的影响,根据实验拟定了较佳的电解工艺条件。当电流密度为12~13A/cm2,电解温度为620~640℃。通过60分钟的电解,经计算电流效率可达86%。合金中,镁与锂结合以Li0.92Mg4.08和Li3Mg7的形式存在,而铝则以Mg0.58Al0.42的形式存在,并且均匀分布在α相和β相中。

Abstract:

This work presents a study on electrochemical formation of Mg-Li-Al alloys on an inert electrode (Mo electrode) in a molten KCl-LiCl-AlCl3-MgCl2-KF system. It aims at preparation Mg-Li-Al metal alloy directly under an optimal electrolytic parameters. Main factors which affect current efficiency are investigated. We have discussed the co-electrodeposition conditions and the effect of technical parameters on these experiments, and gained a good electrolytic process. The result of calculation shows that co-electrodeposition Mg, Li and Al occurs at the cathode current density higher than 9 A/cm2 and electrolytic voltage between 6 to 9 V. And at the optimal parameters, 12-13 A/cm2, 620-640 ℃, the highest current efficiency reaches as high as 86 %. Lithium combined with magnesium forms Li0.92Mg4.08 and Li3Mg7, and aluminum mainly exists in a form of Mg0.58Al0.42, distributing in the alpha phases and beta phases.
