Abstract
This invention presents an anode zinc can for battery with excellent process-ability and corrosion resistance without adding lead to zinc, and a manganese dry battery made by using such a can. Disclosed is a manufacturing method of the proposed can along with technical clues including material composition, optimum hardness, process temperature, and crystal grains with regard to metallographic aspect.
Claims7
A method of manufacturing an anode zinc can for battery comprising a step of:
- making a battery container by using anode material which consists of crystals from 8 to 25 μm of average grain diameter produced by extrusion, punching, and deep-drawing in a temperature from 120 degrees Centigrade to 210 degrees Centigrade of a plate of zinc alloy anode material wherein bismuth is added to zinc.
The method according to claim, wherein zinc is the main component of the anode material, 0.01 percent by mass or more and 0.7 percent by mass or less of bismuth is added to the anode material and lead is not virtually added to the anode material.
A manganese dry battery using an anode can for battery made by using anode material which consists of crystals from 8 to 25 μm of average grain diameter produced by extrusion, punching, and deep-drawing in a temperature from 120 degrees Centigrade to 210 degrees Centigrade of a plate of zinc alloy anode material wherein bismuth is added to zinc.
A manganese dry battery consisting with natural manganese dioxide as cathode active material and zinc alloy as anode active material comprising:
- an anode can for battery made by using anode material which consists of crystals from 8 to 25 μm of average grain diameter produced by extrusion, punching, and deep-drawing in a temperature from 120 degrees Centigrade to 210 degrees Centigrade of a plate of zinc alloy anode material wherein 0.1 percent by mass or more and 0.7 percent by mass or less of bismuth is added to zinc.
A manganese dry battery consisting with electrolytic manganese dioxide as cathode active material and zinc alloy as anode active material comprising:
- an anode can for battery made by using anode material which consists of crystals from 8 to 25 μm of average grain diameter produced by extrusion, punching, and deep-drawing in a temperature from 120 degrees Centigrade to 210 degrees Centigrade of a plate of zinc alloy anode material wherein 0.01 percent by mass or more and 0.7 percent by mass or less of bismuth is added to zinc.
