Abstract

The invention relates to a method for preparing an aluminum-scandium-transition metal alloy through consumable cathode molten salt electrolysis. The method comprises the following steps: (1) preparing an aluminum alloy consumable cathode; aluminum and high-melting-point metal are made into an alloy bar, and a high-melting-point aluminum alloy consumable cathode is manufactured; and (2) preparing the aluminum-scandium multi-component alloy through molten salt electrolysis. A high-temperature aluminum-transition metal alloy bar is used as an up-inserted cathode for preparing metal scandium by molten salt electrolysis with scandium oxide as a raw material, a multi-element aluminum-scandium-transition metal alloy is formed, the melting point of the formed multi-element alloy is lower than the electrolysis temperature, and the multi-element alloy drops into a tungsten and molybdenum crucible at the bottom of an electrolytic cell from the surface of the cathode. According to the method, an existing rare earth electrolytic cell can be directly used, the aluminum-scandium-transition metal alloy is prepared through an up-insertion type consumable cathode fused salt electrolysis method under the condition that the temperature is higher than the aluminum melting point temperature, and alloy components are stable and easy to regulate and control.
