Abstract
An electrode plate for a battery is constructed from a porous metal body having at least one low-porosity part selectively arranged therein. A porous resin core is coated with a paste having a metal component, passed through rolls provided with at least one recess to thereby form at least one low-porosity part and sintered. The resultant electrode plate for battery is not only ensured with respect to strength and capable of improving battery performance but also advantageous in that it is available at lowered cost and free from apprehension of supply of raw materials.
Claims5
A process for producing an electrode plate for use in a battery, which comprises impregnating a skeleton of a porous resin core with a paste composed mainly of powder of at least one selected from the group consisting of metals, alloys and metallic compounds, and a binder to thereby obtain a paste-coated skeleton and passing the paste-coated skeleton between rolls provided with at least one recess to thereby selectively form at least one low-porosity part, followed by heating the coated skeleton to sinter the metallic component and to thereby obtain a a planar sheet porous metal body of uniform thickness and a three-dimensional network.
A process for producing an electrode plate for use in a battery, which comprises impregnating a skeleton of a porous resin core with a paste composed mainly of powdery Fe and a binder to thereby obtain a paste-coated skeleton and passing the paste-coated skeleton between rolls provided with at least one recess to thereby selectively form at least one low-porosity part, followed by heating the coated skeleton to sinter Fe to thereby obtain a planar sheet porous body of Fe, of uniform thickness this porous body of Fe being electroplated with Ni.
A process for producing an electrode plate for use in a battery, which comprises impregnating a skeleton of a porous resin core with a paste composed mainly of a binder of an organic resin to thereby obtain a paste-coated skeleton, passing the paste-coated skeleton between rolls provided with at lest one recess to thereby selectively vary the amount of coated pastes sticking powder Fe to the coated substrate, followed by heating the coated skeleton to sinter Fe to thereby obtain a sheet porous body of Fe, of uniform thickness this porous body of Fe being electroplated with Ni.
