Abstract:
      The ledge thickness and temperature distribution were measured on site with 350 kA aluminum cells as the research object. The ledge shape and temperature field before and after current reinforcement was numerical simulated by finite element method with account of chemical reactions. The effects of cathode materials on the ledge thickness and freeze liquidus isotherms and the operation parameters on the ledge shape after current reinforcement of the cell with graphitized cathodes were analyzed. The results show that the simulation result coincides with the industrial data considerably, and the model can be used to reinforce current, assess cathode materials and optimize the operation parameters.
