Abstract
Electrodes ultilized in electrolytic processes are coated with materials improving the electrodes by the incremental hammering of the powdered material serving as the coating on to the base electrodes by means of known processes whereunder steel is coated with more precious metals or different metals. A more satisfactory electrolytic electrode is produced by a known process. Applicant has discovered that such known processes can apply to the upgrading of electrodes used in electrolytic processes.
Claims4
A method of coating a metal base material and using same as an electrode in electrolytic processes comprising:
- (1) Providing an arc between the base material and a hollow electrode containing the coating material;
- (2) Melting the base material locally and simultaneously hammering the coating in the form of a powder on to the local area;
- (3) Repeating said process at different localized areas on the base material until a coating is completed;
- (4) and utilizing the coated base material as an electrode in electrolytic processes.
