Abstract
Methods of manufacturing a current collector assembly may include iteratively solving a model on a computer. The model may utilize received inputs including a variable number and arrangement of conductive elements to determine as an output a heat distribution within a hypothetical current collector assembly. The methods may also include identifying as a solution to the model a number and arrangement of conductive elements coupled with a current collector that produces a contained heat distribution within the hypothetical current collector assembly. The methods may also include manufacturing the current collector assembly, and the current collector assembly may include a defined plurality of apertures within a refractory base of the current collector assembly in a pattern configured to receive the number and arrangement of conductive elements identified as the solution to the model.
