BINDER PITCH QI CONTENT – ALUMINIUM ANODE<br />

Increasing <strong>the</strong> amount <strong>of</strong> normal QI in <strong>pitch</strong> has been found to have<br />

<strong>the</strong> following <strong>effect</strong>s on anode properties:<br />

Baked density – increase [6,16,17,23], decrease [14], or not strongly<br />

influenced [20,24]<br />

Strength - increase [2,6,8,13,16, 17,21,23,25], or little change<br />

[14,19]<br />

Electrical resistivity – increase [2,8,17], decrease [6], or little change<br />

[19,20,21]<br />

Air Permeability – decrease [6] or little change [19]<br />

Coefficient <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>rmal expansion – increase [22]<br />

Reactivity – increase [2,8,15,17,25,26], little change [19,21,23,27]<br />

Sodium sensitivity – decreases [25]<br />

Anode consumption – little change [20,21,23,27]<br />

While <strong>the</strong>re is a lot <strong>of</strong> variation in <strong>the</strong>se reported anode property<br />

results, it is worth noting that in virtually all <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> studies reviewed<br />

(covering normal QI levels from 1 – 20%) <strong>the</strong> measured anode<br />

properties were in <strong>the</strong> typical ranges for each test. Several studies<br />

showed clear evidence or included <strong>the</strong> comment that low (e.g.
