Abstract The present study was to evaluate the role of alloying and rapid solidification processing in direct structural control in lead base batteries. A detailed investigation on rapid quenching of liquid lead base alloys for high performance storage battery applications was made in order to choose suitable lead grid alloys for lead acid batteries as melt-spun ribbons. So this work provides a comprehensive review of the physical metallurgy and mechanical properties of the melt-spun ordered alloy based on Pb, (Pb 86.9-Sb13.1, Pb99 Ca1, Sn61.9- Pb38.1, Sn90-Sb10), (Egyptian battery grid, Germany battery grid), ( Pb80-Sb10-Sn10, Sb80-Sb12-Sn8, Pb80-Sb13.1-Sn6.9 , Pb80-Sb16-Sn4 , Pb80-Sb18-Sn2 ), (Pb80-Sb9.5-Sn9.5-Ca1, Pb80-Sb11.5-Sn7.5-Ca1, Pb80-Sb13.1-Sn5.9-Ca1, Pb80-Sb15.5-Sn3.5-Ca1, Pb80-Sb17.5-Sn1.5-Ca1), (Pb80-Sb9-Sn9-Ca1-Al1, Pb80-Sb11-Sn7-Ca1-Al1, Pb80-Sb13.1-Sn4.9-Ca1-Al1, Pb80-Sb15-Sn3-Ca1-Al1, Pb80-Sb17-Sn1-Ca1-Al1) and Pb-0.5Sn-0.1Ca for storage battery applications. The results indicate that the composition of alloys plays an important role on grid batteries performed. It is found that Pb-0.5wt.%Sn-0.1wt.%Ca can be used to make the grids used for ribbon grid lead-acid batteries. Also rapidly solidified ternary Pb-Sb-Sn alloy is suitable alloy for storage battery applications in addition it’s improved when we adding 1%Ca to it, but not when we adding 1%Al. |
