The batch firing of 450 x 33 mm beta alumina tubes using the BR45 isostatic press tooling (TM-EC-059)

The economic and energy density advantages of using electrolyte tubes longer than 30 cm initiated an investigation into the feasibility of scaling up the batch firing process at B.R. to produce tubes 45 cm long. The most important factors determining the optimum electrolyte length are the production pass rate, cell...
