PCT No. PCT/IB95/00801 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 11, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 11, 1997 PCT Filed Sep. 27, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/12833 PCT Pub. Date May 2, 1996An anode for the electrowinning of aluminium by the electrolysis of alumina dissolved in a molten fluoride electrolyte comprises a porous combustion synthesis product of nickel, aluminium, iron, copper and optional doping elements in the amounts 50-90 wt. % nickel, 3-20 wt. % aluminium, 5-20 wt. % iron, 0-15 wt. % copper and 0-5 wt. % of one or more of chromium, manganese, titanium, molybdenum, cobalt, zirconium, niobium, tantalum, yttrium, cerium, oxygen, boron and nitrogen. The combustion synthesis product contains metallic and intermetallic phases. A composite oxide surface is produced in situ by anodic polarization of the porous combustion synthesis product in a molten fluoride electrolyte containing dissolved alumina. The in situ formed composite oxide surface comprises an iron-rich relatively dense outer portion, and an aluminate-rich relatively porous inner portion.
