Abstract
A cathode arrangement having a mounting rail ( ) and a cathode plate ( ) bonded to the mounting rail ( ). Two parallel, flanges extending in its longitudinal direction are formed on the underside ( ) of the mounting rail ( ). The cathode plate ( ) is accommodated and bonded to the flanges ( ) by explosion welding between the parallel flanges. A full-surface metal-to-metal bond is thus obtained, which has very good current-conducting properties at the contact surfaces between the flanges ( ) and the cathode plate ( ). The ends of the mounting rail ( ) projecting over the cathode plate ( ) have a flangeless design and have oblique surfaces ( ) intersecting in the shape of a wedge on the underside.
