Abstract
It is found that the electrical conductivities of molten aluminum chloride electrolytes increase with the electric field and reach limiting values, which are higher than the low-voltage values by several hundreds of percent. Under the action of high-voltage microsecond pulses, the melts transform into a nonequilibrium state with a increased electrical conductivity and long-term relaxation.
