Method for electrode fabrication

Claim 2

A PROCESS FOR FORMING AN ELECTRICALY CONDUCTIVE CARBON-CONTAINING BODY FOR USE AS AN ELECTRODE WHICH COMPRISE THE STEPS OF PREPARING A QUANTITY OF BINDER HAVING A 51-58% PITCH CONTENT BY WEIGHT AND A 42-49, SOLVENT CONTENT BY WEIGHT WHICH RENDERS SAID PITCH FLUID AT ROOM TEMPERATURE, SAID PITCH CONTAINING IN PART UNDISTILLED VOLATILES AND CARBON, COLD MIXING 100 PARTS BY WEIGHT OF POWDERED METAL OXIDE WITH 12 TO 42 PARTS BY WEIGHT OF SAID FLUID BINDER AT ROOM TEMPERATURE UNITL THE METAL OXIDEBINDER MASS IS HOMOGENEOUS AND IN AN EXTRUDABLE STATE WHERE THE GRAINS OF SAID OXIDE ARE COATED WITH SAID BINDER, MOLDING SAID MASS TO THE FORM DESIRED BY COLD EXTRUSION AT ROOM TEMPERATURE, AND BONDED THE AFORESAID EXTRUDED MASS INTO A UNITARY BODY BY RAPIDLY BAKING SAID MASS AT A TEMPERATURE RATE OF FROM 100*C. PER HOUR TO 1000*C. PER HOUR TO REMOVE THE SOLVENTS AND THE PITCH VOLATILES THEREBY FORMING AN ELECTRODE CONSISTING OF THE METAL OXIDE AND THE NON-VOLATILE CARBON RESULTING FROM THE PITCH DISTILLIATION WHICH BONDS THE METAL OXIDE PARTICLES TOGETHER.

Claim 3

A PROCESS FOR FORMING AN ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE CARBON-CONTAINING BODY FOR USE AS AN ELECTRODE WHICH COMPRISES THE STEPS OF MIXING A POWDERED CARBON WITH A POWDERED CARBIDE PREPARING A QUANTITY OF BINDER HAVING A 51-58% PITCH CONTENT BY WEIGH AND A 42-49% SOLVENT CONTENT BY WEIGHT WHICH RENDERS SAID BINDER FLUID AT ROOM TEMPERATURE, SAID PITCH CONTAINING IN PART UNDISTILLED VOLATILES AND CARBON, COLD MIXING 100 PARTS BY WEIGHT OF SAID CARBON-CARBIDE MIXTURE WITH 12 TO 42 PARTS BY WEIGHT OF SAID FLUID BINDER UNTIL THE CARBON-CARBIDE BINDER MASS OF HOMOGENEROUS AND IN AN EXTRUDABLE STATE WHERE THE GRAINS OF SAID CARBON AND CARBIDE ARE COATED WITH SAID BINDER, MOLDING SAID MASS TO THE FORM DESIRED BY COLD EXTRUSION AT ROOM TEMPERATURE, AND BONDING THE AFORESAID EXTRUDED MASS INTO A UNITARY BODY RAPIDLY BAKING SAID MASS AT A TEMPERATURE RATE OF FROM 100*C. PER HOUR TO 1000*C. PER HOUR TO REMOVE THE SOLVENT AND THE PITCH VOLATILES THEREBY FORMING AN ELECTRODE CONSISTING OF THE POWDERED CARBON, THE POWDERED CARBIDE, THE NON-VOLATILE CARBON RESULTING FROM THE PITCH DISTILLATION WHICH BINDS THE POWDERED CARBON AND THE CARBIDE PARTICLES TOGETHER.

Claim 4

A PROCESS FOR FORMING AN ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE CARBON-CONTAINING BODY FOR USE AS AN ELECTRODE WHICH COMPRISES THE STEPS OF MIXING A POWDERED CARBON WITH A POWDERED CARBIDE PREPARING A QUANTITY OF BINDER HAVING A 51-58% PITCH CONTENT BY WEIGH AND A 42-49% SOLVENT CONTENT BY WEIGHT WHICH RENDERS SAID BINDER FLUID AT ROOM TEMPERATURE, SAID PITCH CONTAINING IN PART UNDISTILLED VOLATILES AND CARBON, COLD MIXING 100 PARTS BY WEIGHT OF SAID CARBON-CARBIDE MIXTURE WITH 12 TO 42 PARTS BY WEIGHT OF SAID FLUID BINDER UNTIL THE CARBON-CARBIDE BINDER MASS OF HOMOGENEROUS AND IN AN EXTRUDABLE STATE WHERE THE GRAINS OF SAID CARBON AND CARBIDE ARE COATED WITH SAID BINDER, MOLDING SAID MASS TO THE FORM DESIRED BY COLD EXTRUSION AT ROOM TEMPERATURE, AND BONDING THE AFORESAID EXTRUDED MASS INTO A UNITARY BODY RAPIDLY BAKING SAID MASS AT A TEMPERATURE RATE OF FROM 100*C. PER HOUR TO 1000*C. PER HOUR TO REMOVE THE SOLVENT AND THE PITCH VOLATILES THEREBY FORMING AN ELECTRODE CONSISTING OF THE POWDERED CARBON, THE POWDERED CARBIDE, THE NON-VOLATILE CARBON RESULTING FROM THE PITCH DISTILLATION WHICH BINDS THE POWDERED CARBON AND THE CARBIDE PARTICLES TOGETHER.
