Product Overview – High-Conductivity Steel for Aluminum Electrolysis
Aluminum electrolysis is an energy-intensive process that requires steel components with excellent electrical conductivity to minimize power losses and maximize efficiency. The cathode steel bars and anode steel claws serve as critical conductive elements in electrolysis cells, directly impacting the overall energy consumption and production costs of aluminum smelting operations.
FUSHUN SPECIAL STEEL manufactures these specialized steel products using carefully selected raw materials and advanced rolling techniques. Our unique hot rolling process involves multiple passes that optimize the steel’s crystalline structure, resulting in lower electrical resistivity and improved conductivity compared to standard steel products.
We offer a complete range of steel grades including Q195, Q215, SAE1006, YT2, and FB005, each with specific resistivity characteristics suited for different applications within the electrolysis cell. Our technical team can recommend the optimal grade based on your specific cell design, operating conditions, and performance requirements.

Product Classification and Applications
Cathode Steel Bars / Flat Steel – High-Conductivity Solutions
Cathode steel bars are essential components in aluminum electrolysis cells, serving as the primary current conductors that transfer electrical energy to the cathode carbon blocks. The performance of these bars directly affects the cell’s voltage drop and energy efficiency.
FUSHUN SPECIAL STEEL manufactures high-conductivity cathode steel bars using our proprietary hot rolling process. Through multiple rolling passes, we optimize the steel’s microstructure to achieve superior electrical conductivity while maintaining excellent mechanical properties.
Primary Applications
Cathode collector bars, cathode flexible connectors, anode steel claw crossbeams, cell busbar systems
Key Features
Low electrical resistivity, stable chemical composition, excellent surface quality, consistent cross-sectional dimensions
Round Steel for Anode Steel Claws
Anode steel claws are critical connecting components that secure the carbon anode blocks to the anode rod assembly. These claws must provide reliable electrical contact while withstanding the harsh operating environment of the electrolysis cell.
Our round steel products are precision-manufactured to ensure optimal conductivity and mechanical strength. The careful control of material composition and rolling parameters results in round bars with consistent properties throughout their length.
Primary Applications
Anode steel claws, anode connecting rods, anode yoke assemblies, current-carrying structural components
Key Features
Precise diameter tolerance, excellent roundness, uniform resistivity, good machinability for further processing
Steel Grade Specifications & Electrical Resistivity Data
Electrical resistivity is a critical parameter for steel used in aluminum electrolysis applications. Lower resistivity means better electrical conductivity, which translates to reduced voltage drop across the steel components and improved energy efficiency. FUSHUN SPECIAL STEEL offers multiple steel grades with varying resistivity characteristics to match your specific requirements.
| Property | Q195 | Q215 | SAE1006 | YT2 | FB005 Anode Claw Steel |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Resistivity ×10⁻⁸Ω·m at 20°C |

| Conductivity Rating | Standard | Standard | High | Highest | High |
| Recommended Use | General cathode bars | General cathode bars | High-efficiency cells | Premium applications | Anode steel claws |
Understanding Electrical Resistivity Values
Lower resistivity = Better conductivity. The resistivity values shown above are measured at 20°C standard temperature. YT2 grade offers the lowest resistivity (9.32 ×10⁻⁸Ω·m), making it the optimal choice for applications where maximum conductivity is required.
FB005 Anode Claw Steel is specifically engineered for anode claw applications, providing an optimized balance of electrical conductivity and mechanical strength required for reliable claw performance.
