Abstract

See full text

An anode assembly for an aluminum electrolysis cell is provided. The anode assembly includes a baked anode block, a plurality of elongated connection elements each having an anode block contact surface and an electrical connection surface, at least one electromechanical crossbar connector covering the electrical connection surfaces of the elongated connection elements, and a crossbar electrically connected to the elongated connection elements. A method for manufacturing an anode assembly for an aluminum electrolysis cell is also provided. The method includes the steps of forming a block of green anode paste, inserting a plurality of elongated connection elements in the green anode paste, baking the green anode, positioning a crossbar above the electrical connection surfaces of the plurality of elongated connection elements, and covering the electrical connection surfaces and at least partially the crossbar with a surface-conforming electrically-conductive material.
