DEFINITION

Classification: 204/243.1

Fused bath:

(under subclass 242) Apparatus having as an electrolyte a substance or mixture of material which normally exists in a solid or non-fluid physical state at normal room temperature (e.g., nonaqueous mixture, etc.) and in which the electrolyte

is heated during electrolysis to an elevated temperature at which the electrolyte will change physical state to become fluid (e.g., molten salt, etc.)

(1) Note. Special materials designed for high temperature application are usually required in this type of apparatus.
