Carbon Materials for Aluminum Industry: The Invisible Pillar of the Aluminum Sector

In recent years, with the rapid development of the global new energy industry and the deepening of industrialization, the market demand for aluminum-used carbon, a key material in electrolytic aluminum production, has been growing continuously.
Aluminum-used carbon materials are carbon materials made through deep processing, with pitch coke, petroleum coke, anthracite, etc., as the main aggregates and coal tar pitch, etc., as binders. They mainly include anode carbon blocks, cathode carbon blocks, and cathode pastes, etc., and are the type of carbon products with the largest production and consumption among carbon materials. Featuring corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, high strength, strong chemical inertness, and good electrical conductivity, aluminum-used carbon materials are widely used in fields such as aerospace, automobile manufacturing, and the electronics industry.
Aluminum-used carbon materials are one of the pillar materials in the aluminum electrolysis industry. According to their different positions and functions in the electrolytic cell, they can be divided into two major categories: anode materials and cathode materials.

Applications of Aluminum-Used Carbon Materials

In the process of aluminum alloy casting, aluminum-used carbon materials can be used as refractory materials, fluxes, coatings, etc. They can improve the purity of aluminum alloys, enhance their strength and high-temperature resistance, and effectively protect aluminum alloys from oxidation and corrosion.
Due to their excellent performance and application value, aluminum-used carbon materials have become one of the indispensable materials in aluminum alloy casting. They not only improve the quality and performance of aluminum alloy castings but also reduce production costs and enhance production efficiency.
Prebaked anode is a typical representative of aluminum-used carbon anode materials. It is a carbon block made by roasting, with petroleum coke, pitch coke, etc., as aggregates and coal tar pitch as a binder, and has a stable geometric shape. Prebaked anode not only serves as a conductor but also participates in electrochemical reactions, during which it gets consumed. Therefore, the quality of prebaked anode has a significant impact on the quality of primary aluminum.
Driven by multiple factors, the global market demand for prebaked anodes is showing a steady growth trend.

  • Industry expansion

    Drives the growth of demand for prebaked anodes

  • Technological progress
