| 摘要 |
A method for protecting anode assemblies in an electrolytic cell from thermal shock is disclosed. The method generally involves applying a thermal insulating layer (8, 16) to the anode (2) prior to preheating the anode assembly in a furnace, where the layer (8, 16) protects the anode (2) from thermal shock during transfer from the preheat furnace to the electrolytic cell. In a preferred embodiment the anode (2) is attached to a castable plate (4) that is also protected from thermal shock by an insulating layer. PENDING RELATED APPLICATION This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. Ser. No. 09/940,248 filed Aug. 27, 2001 for "Cermet Inert Anode Assembly Thermal Insulating Layer".
