Fig 2 is the lead alloy version of continuous strip casting, the main difference here is the use of a single rotating drum rather than the two cooled rollers for metals of much higher melting points. Up to the mid-1980s lead alloy grid production was almost exclusively carried out by gravity book mould and pressure-die casting.
The objective in grid casting is to maintain the mould temperature constant both from one cast to the next and throughout the working shift. The temperature of the mould, particularly the moving half, depends on the external heating source plus the heat transferred from the molten metal poured into the mould.
In contrast, casting a grid from the molten alloy did not require complicated or costly equipment, all trimmings could be returned to the lead alloy furnace and the moulds were not expensive to buy or difficult to make. Because of these attributes, casting grids has remained the main grid-making system.
Components of an automotive battery grid There have been many designs of grids adopted over the years based on the lattice principle. In this, the horizontal members are approximately half the thickness of the grid and half that of the rib cross section.
The molten alloy is either injected into an extension of the grid lug or via a slit gate directly on the top bar. The virtue of the latter is claimed to be a more even flow of metal to each of the spine channels. Both systems are capable of producing satisfactory castings that meet the full-life requirements of the cell.
