Abstract

Al-Er master alloy is an excellent refining agent, which can improve the recrystallization temperature of Al alloy. At 750 °C, Al-Er alloy is prepared by electrodeposition in molten KF (25 wt%)-LiF (20 wt%)-ErF3 (10 wt%)-KCl (45 wt%) system with Er2O3 as the source of Er, the sinking Al liquid as cathode, and the anti-EMF is studied. The results show that under the condition of 16 A/dm2, the anti-EMF increases first and then stabilizes with the increase of electrolysis time. After adding Er2O3 (2 wt%), the anti-EMF drops by 0.19 V on average, and the feeding period measured is 6 min. Finally, when 750 °C, the electrolysis time is 24 min, and the current density is 12 A/dm2, the Er concentration in alloys reached the maximum of 3.65%, and the current efficiency reached 74.64%. By XRD and SEM characterization, alloy components are mainly Al3Er, and few of Al12Er. The phase of Al-Er alloy distribution is more uniform.
