The Impact of Cathode Material and Shape on Current Density in an Aluminum Electrolysis Cell

A finite element model was developed to determine the impact of cathode material and shape on current density in an aluminum electrolysis cell. For the cathode material, results show that increased electrical resistivity leads to a higher cathode voltage drop; however, the horizontal current is redu...
