Abstract:
1. A method of assembling anodes, comprising: a) pre-coating a copper bus bar by cast plating at a temperature between 300° C.-350° C. with an alloy comprising lead and silver; b) introducing the pre-coated copper bus bar into a mold and coating the pre-coated copper bus bar with a lead-antimony alloy, the lead-antimony alloy coating having a thickness of between 0.01 mm to 10 mm; c) thereafter removing the copper bus bar from the mold, and filling a slot that is formed in the copper bus bar with a lead-bismuth alloy in a liquid state; d) introducing an end of a plate into the slot while the lead-bismuth alloy is in a liquid state; and e) once the lead-bismuth alloy in the slot has solidified, applying reinforcement solder to a joint area between the lead-antimony alloy coating and the plate.
