Abstract: TiB2 has many super characteristics, such as high melting temperature, excellent electrical conductivity, good corrosive resistance and good wettability with liquid aluminum. The status of conventional aluminum electrolytic cathode and the advantages of inert TiB2 cathode materials were reviewed, and the research status of TiB2coating, TiB2ceramic cathode and TiB2-based composites was also described in this paper.
Key words: aluminum electrolysis; TiB2; inert cathode
