Carbon-containing components (1, 2, 5) of cells for the production of aluminium (8) by the electrolysis of alumina dissolved in a cryolite-based molten electrolyte (7) are protected from attack by liquid and/or gaseous components of the electrolyte (7) in the form of elements, ions or compounds, by a refractory boride coating (9, 10, 11) applied from a slurry composed of preformed particulate refractory boride in a colloidal carrier which is dried and heated to consolidate the coating.

Carbo'n-conteniendo componentes (1, 2, 5) de las células para la producción del aluminio (8) por la electrólisis del alúmina disuelta en un electrólito fundido criolita-basado (7) es protegido contra ataque por los componentes líquidos y/o gaseosos del electrólito (7) en la forma de elementos, iones o compuestos, por una capa refractaria del boruro (9, 10, 11) aplicada de una mezcla integrada por boruro refractario de partículas preformado en un portador coloidal que se seque y se caliente para consolidar la capa.
