What is the best electrode material for the electrolysis of water?
platinum Expanding on the answer above, the best material for an electrode really depends on the application. When looking at electrode materials, you need to consider three factors: 1. Electrical Conductivity- Different materials resist the flow of electric current through them at varying levels. Copper, Gold, and Platinum are very good conductors. Alloys, Steel, Iron, and other metals are good conductors as well. 2. Corrosion Resistance- The electrolysis of water is very corrosive to the electrode material. If you use the wrong electrode material, you will have to replace the electrodes often. Platinum and 316L Stainless steel are the best options as far as corrosion resistance. Copper is very poor at resisting corrosion. 3. Price- Though platinum is probably the best overall choice for electrode material, it is very expensive. When designing a large, high output electrolyser the electrodes need to be large and have a lot of surface area. Making large electrodes out of platinum would not be an option for most. In conclusion, when choosing an electrode material you need to consider the above variables. In my opinion 316L stainless steel is the the best option for home made electrolysers because it is relatively cheap, has high corrosion resistance, and is a good electrical conductor. This material is also available in many different prefabricated shapes and sizes that can be custom fitted to your application. If price is not a concern, then platinum is the best material.
What makes an electric arc furnace electrode break?
Electrode are some times broken due to: -1) Electrodes making contact with a none metallic object as they are being hard pressed and ultimately broken. Electronic instruments are available to find this condition and take corrective measures to avert breakage of electrodes.2) Scrap falling against the electrode(also known as scrap cave-in or collapse)Above conditions are applicable for EAF3) Electrode breaking at joints due to incorrect jointing (Not having the correct torque applied to the sections being jointed)4) Rough handling prior to being used (While being moved or stored)5) If thermosetting thead lock are missing due to some reason or other,the same mishap may happen.6) Thread may have some entrapped external material which in turn damage the thread while torquing.7) If phase sequence is not correct, electrode will be loosened from the joint and may fall in the molten metal.vipin@vaibhavfurnaces.com
