title: Thermo-Electric Problem in the Søderberg Electrode
ispublished: pub
subjects: materials
studygroups: esgi30
companyname: Elkem
full_text_status: public
abstract: Current is supplied to a Søderberg electrode by copper clamps that are attached to the steel casing around the electrode. From this casing steel fins run into the paste to enhance current transport, creating a non-uniform distribution of current and temperature within the paste.

The aim for the Study Group is to determine whether a homogenisation approach can be used to reduce the problem to one with axial symmetry.
