The baked density of the anode is an important quality characteristic, as it may affect anode life. , presence of cracks and pores) before they are set in reduction cells and. This is followed by a chemical etching and in some cases mechanical abrasion of the surface. The system is designed for both green and baked anodes; and this offers the advantage of rejecting defective green anodes that will help save the cost of baking. Previous work has shown how to overcome technical hurdles related to crack detection by using percolation-based. 3 above show the construction of these anodes. 6–0. 7. Call on (514) 687-7678.
