CARBON ELECTRODES AND THEIR CONNECTION ELEMENTS HAVING DIRECTIONALLY STRUCTURED CONTACT SURFACES

摘要

Electrode columns made from carbon and graphite are screwed together from individual elements, for example the electrode and nipples. The elements have directionally structured contact surfaces. This structure of the contact surfaces gives rise to the elements of a column demonstrating increased resistance to loosening after intensive machine screwing or screwing applied by hand, which therefore is often inadequate, whereby a higher level of operational reliability is achieved, in particular in the case of electrode columns that are screwed together by hand.
