ABSTRACT:
Titanium diboride graphite composite articles are produced by mixing TiO.sub.2, petroleum coke and a binder to form a plastic dispersion. Articles are shaped by molding or extrusion and baked to carbonize the binder to form a baked carbon-TiO.sub.2 composite. The article is impregnated with a molten or dispersed boron compound, then heated to drive TiB.sub.2 forming reaction. The article is then further heated to a graphitizing temperature to form a graphite-TiB.sub.2 composite useful as a cathode component in a Hall aluminum reduction cell.
