The State-of-the-Art and Development of Sidewall Materials for Al Reduction Cells in China

The type of sidewall materials for Al reduction cells, manufacture, material properties, key performance, the application as well as research hotspots were introduced in the paper. From author’s point of view, integral sidewall with a combination of Si3N4-SiC block and carbon block will be the main application in Al reduction cell in China, in the mean time, the research on long service-life Si3N4-SiC based insulating sidewall is an important task towards energy-saving Al reduction cells at current stage in China
