The welding of the bars in the cathode blocks previously moulded and cooked at high temperature (+/- 1100°C) ensures the conduction and the good distribution of the electrolysis current. In electrolytic cells, cathode blocks play a major role in cell performance. As soon as the cathode breaks down, the electrolysis cell must be stopped and replenished with new material; the perfect upstream welding guarantees the thermal and electrical properties of the cathode which directly influence the thermal and electrical losses of the electrolysis => Cathode blocks are not entitled to the slightest failure due to the quality impact of the rodding on the future electrical performance of cathode ray blocks in pots.
The death of the cathode block leads to the death of the Pot-Cell...
Unfortunately, the failure is only identified at best during ramming… at worst during tensioning!
