The invention relates to a method for reducing horizontal current in molten aluminum of an
aluminum electrolysis bath. The method for reducing the horizontal current in the molten aluminum of the
aluminum electrolysis bath is characterized in that:
partial current guide material (3) is spread at a
cathode carbon block (1) or a
steel bar (2) or connecting material
cathode paste thereof or
phosphorus pig iron (4), so that the current in the molten aluminum enters the
cathode carbon block relatively uniformly, passes through the
steel bar and is released from the side of the
electrolysis bath. In the current guide material (3), at least one material or an insulating material composition, the resistivity of which is different from that of the carbon block or the
steel bar, is spread at different parts of a cathode as required and can be used for substituting partial carbon block material or steel bar material or combined together with the carbon block material or the steel bar material, and meanwhile, the width, the height or the thickness of the current guide material (3) can be gradually changed in a step shape or a gradual change form by adjusting the shape of the current guide material (3), so that the resistance distribution of the cathode is changed, the
current distribution of the cathode is regulated, the horizontal current in the molten aluminum is reduced, the stability of magnetic fluid of the
electrolysis bath is increased, the efficiency of the current is improved and the service life of the bath is prolonged.
