Abstract

Non-uniformity in electrode thickness can result in quality control defectively. To quantitatively detect the non-uniformity of electrode thickness during the manufacturing processes. A heat transfer model based on heat conduction equation has been employed to provide the computational study. The effects of boundary conditions of adiabatic and periodic walls along coating direction, electrode thickness changes from 3.9 to 30.0 %, and two types of located region in thickness changes, as well as anode and cathode material properties on temperature change percents are analyzed and discussed in detail. The relationship between thickness changes percents and temperature change percents of electrode is established. It is found that the thickness changes have a sensitivity of 1 % changes in electrode thickness will result in 1 % in temperature changes at an inherent time point. The selected time points are 0.008 or 0.01 s for cathode and 0.004 s for anode. The minimum thickness change percent 3.9 % will be detected. Further, the comparison of the computational results with experimental ones shows the validity of the heat conduction model.
