The invention discloses a structure and method for reducing
aluminum electrolysis anode steel-carbon
voltage drop. The structure comprises an
anode steel claw, a phosphorous
pig iron ring and a carbonblock, wherein the carbon block is provided with a cylindrical carbon bowl; a claw head of the steel claw is inserted into the carbon bowl; and the phosphorous
pig iron ring is cast between the clawhead and a circular seam of the carbon bowl. The structure is characterized in that an easily-conductive
metal plating layer is plated on the surface, making contact with the steel claw and the phosphorous
pig iron, of the carbon bowl. The implementation method includes the steps that in the
aluminum electrolysis anode assembling process, the easily-conductive
metal plating layer is plated on thesurface of the carbon bowl of the anode carbon block and then connected with the phosphorous pig iron used for the steel claw in a
casting mode, and a new anode is assembled and then used for an electrolytic bath. By means of the structure and the method, the situation of poor connection between the carbon block and
metal in an
aluminum electrolysis anode can be effectively avoided, the steel clawis more fully and compactly connected with the carbon block, the
contact resistance is reduced, and the reduction of the anode steel-carbon
voltage drop and reduction of
power consumption are achieved. By means of the structure and method provided by the invention, the anode steel-carbon
voltage drop can be reduced by at least 20 mV on average, and therefore the
power consumption per
ton aluminumis effectively reduced.
