| dc.description.abstract | Industrial cathodes have the potential of being extremely nonuniform in impurity
content. Obtaining a representative sample is essential in evaluating specifications
compliance in industrial cathodes which determine its quality. Knowledge about
impurity distribution in nickel cathode is scanty. Again there seems to be no literature
regarding proper sampling design on nickel cathode. The thrust of this project was to
carry out profile tests on impurity distribution and then design an appropriate
sampling method for nickel cathode, using statistical analysis. It was observed that
there is no pattern in which the impurities are distributed within the cathode. Random
sampling was found to be the best method for sampling nickel cathodes. | en_US |
