Abstract:
Describes the use of high performance phenol-formaldehyde resins in the fabrication of anodes, cathodes, and electrodes, for use in metallurgy. A carbonaceous aggregate mixed with binder material is formed into a compacted mass in a desired shape, and the resin is permitted to cure to form a self-sustaining shape. Upon carbonization of the shaped, compacted mass, electrodes and other desirable shapes may be produced. Also useful for ramming and tamping mixes. Provide environmentally safe binder replacements for coal tar pitch while providing excellent residual carbon contents and desirable electrical and physical properties.
