Abstract
A cathode for an electrolytic cell operated at elevated temperature, the cathode comprising a refractory hard metal (RHM) body embedded in a carbonaceous base. The cathode is provided with an intermediate layer of fibrous material between a side wall of a seat in the base and a wall segment of the RHM body. The layer preferably comprises low-density carbon felt, and the layer prevents breakage of the RHM body by providing a cushion against differential thermal expansion and contraction of the base and body, especially during cell start-up.
