Abstract
Abstract A method of producing an electrode by applying onto a core material a solution of at least one metal salt and subjecting the resultant core material to a heat treatment in a heating zone, characterized in that said heat treatment comprises continuously elevating the temperature of the resultant core material to a temperature of about 400 DEG to 700 DEG C. over a period of about 5 minutes to 2 hours, while blowing air into the heating zone to obtain a coated electrode. The coated electrode produced according to the method of the present invention is excellent in adherence of the coating to the core material and has long life due to low losses of the coating during use.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
129 words
A method of producing an electrode which comprises applying to the surface of a corrosion-resistant electroconductive core material a solution of at least one metal salt capable of forming an electroconductive substance by heat treatment, and subjecting the resulting coated core material to a heat treatment in a heating zone, said heat treatment comprising continuously elevating the temperature of said resulting coated core material to about 400° to 700° C. over a period of time of about 5 minutes to 2 hours while blowing air into the heating zone at a rate of at least about 0.8 m 3 /hr per 1 m 2 of the projective area of the core material and rapidly removing gaseous products being produced from the surface of said heat treated coated core material.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
129 words
A method of producing an electrode which comprises applying to the surface of a corrosion-resistant electroconductive core material a solution of at least one metal salt capable of forming an electroconductive substance by heat treatment, and subjecting the resulting coated core material to a heat treatment in a heating zone, said heat treatment comprising continuously elevating the temperature of said resulting coated core material to about 400° to 700° C. over a period of time of about 5 minutes to 2 hours while blowing air into the heating zone at a rate of at least about 0.8 m 3 /hr per 1 m 2 of the projective area of the core material and rapidly removing gaseous products being produced from the surface of said heat treated coated core material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
55 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein the air is blown into the heating zone at a rate of about 0.8 to 100 m 3 /hr per 1 m 2 of the projective area of said resulting core material, in terms of an average rate in the heat treatment by the continuous elevation of temperature.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein the temperature of the coated core material is continuously elevated over a period of about 20 minutes to 1 hour.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein the solution contains salts of at least two metals and the electroconductive substance formed is an oxygen-containing solid solution of said metals.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
33 words
A method according to claim 1, which further comprises preliminary drying between the application of the solution onto the core material and the continuous elevation of the temperature of the coated core material.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
43 words
A method according to claim 1 further including the step of subjecting the resulting heat treated coated core material to a post heat treatment carried out at a temperature of 450° to 600° C. for a period of 10 minutes to 12 hours.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
33 words
The method according to claim 1 wherein the application of said metal salt solution to the electroconductive core material and subsequent heat treatment operation is carried out at least more than one time.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
22 words
The method according to claim 7 wherein the operation is repeated from 2 to 30 times to produce the desired coated electrode.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim

The method according to claim 1 wherein said metal salt is selected from at least one member of the group consisting of metal chlorides, metal nitrates and metal sulfates.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
32 words
The method according to claim 1 wherein the core material having the solution of the metal salt applied thereto is subjected to a preliminary drying step prior to the stated heat treatment.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
