MECHANICAL ATTACHMENT OF ELECTRICAL CURRENT CONDUCTOR TO INERT ANODES

摘要

An inert anode (10) for use in an electrolysis process to make metals such as aluminum, contains a hollow interior with an open top portion (16), an interior closed bottom (18) and interior sidewalls (19) where the top interior sidewalls (16) have at least one interior groove (20) which helps relieve stress on the anode material and helps provide locking and support of the anode.
