Investigation of a lithium electrolytic cell failure
Electrolytic cells, used to produce lithium metal, fail after approximately three years in service. A metallurgical investigation revealed that molten lithium at 440/sup 0/C was dissolving the carbon in the cementite which is a constituent in the steel plate from which the cell is fabricated.
