Abstract

Aluminum–scandium master alloys are highly demanded products used to create multi-functional aluminum alloys and composites. A high cost of Al-Sc master alloys stops the automotive industry from using them widely. This research investigates the possibility to produce Al-Sc master alloys via electrolysis of the LiF-AlF3-Sc2O3 melt. The kinetic parameters of the aluminum and scandium electrowinning were studied by means of voltammetry, stationary polarization, and electrolysis tests. The apparent limiting current density for co-deposition of Aluminum and Scandium on tungsten cathode was in the range from 1.28 to 1.97 A.cm–2 in the temperature range from 860 to 940 °C. Based on the electrochemical measurements, the parameters for galvanostatic electrolysis were selected and electrolysis tests were carried out to obtain Al-Sc master alloys. The microstructure of the obtained Al-Sc master alloys was studied. It was possible to obtain Al-Sc alloys with the concentration of Sc 0.68 wt.%.
