13、mination of the expansion due to sodium penetration with application of pressure Part 2: Determination of the expansion due to sodium penetration without application of pressureiv ISO 2015 All rights reserved ISO 15379-2:2015(E) Introduction Expansion due to sodium penetration is an important proper

14、ty of carbon cathode blocks. As soon as alumina electrolysis starts, sodium penetrates into the carbon cathode blocks causing swelling of these blocks. This increase in volume creates mechanical stresses within the blocks and/or bulging of the bottom block plate. This can lead to cracks through whic

15、h liquid aluminium and/or liquid electrolyte can flow, reaching the thermal insulation beneath the blocks and destroying these ceramic materials. In such a case, the electrolysis cell has to be relined, resulting in loss of aluminium production and high expenses. Therefore, cathode blocks produced w

16、ith materials allowing only low sodium penetration and having the lowest possible expansion due to sodium penetration are preferred. The study can be supplemented by measuring electrical resistivity (see ISO 11713) before and after the test. ISO 2015 All rights reserved v Carbonaceous materials for

Determine the difference in position, l 0 , between the bottom

33、 end of the copper pipe and the bottom of the hole in the sample at room temperature. Prepare the bath in accordance with the conditions given in 5.6. Place the cryolitic bath components in the crucible (4.4). Place the crucible in the crucible holder (4.8). Graphite powder (4.9) can be used to impr

34、ove the electrical connection between the crucible and the crucible holder. Place the crucible and the holder in the furnace (4.1). Place the sample, which is attached to the copper pipe, above the bath allowing the sample to preheat together with the crucible. Insert the Inconel rod (4.6) through t

35、he copper pipe down to the bottom of the hole in the sample. Place the thermocouple (4.3) close to the crucible near the centre of the melt height. Heat the furnace to (980 5) C with an argon (5.1) flush. After reaching a stable temperature, insert the sample until the bottom end of the sample is 30

36、 mm above the bottom of the crucible. Place the extensometer holder on top of the copper pipe. The extensometer (4.7) shall rest on top of the Inconel rod (4.6). Detect the change in position between the copper pipe and the Inconel rod. Leave the sample to be heated by the bath until no further ther

37、mally induced movement can be detected in the sample and apparatus. Measure the difference in position between the copper pipe and the Inconel rod and take this reading as the zero reference for subsequent measurements of the change in length, l meas (t). Connect the power supply (4.10) to the cruci

38、ble holder and the copper pipe. Electrolyze the system for 2 h with a constant current of (54 1) A. Record the change in length, l meas (t), every minute. Then turn off the electrolysis. Remove the sample from the bath. Allow the furnace to cool down to room temperature. 8 Results 8.1 Calculation Ca
