"Plate Grid casting plays a pivotal role in the lead battery production process. Functioning as both the carrier of the active material and the conductor of the conducting fluid, the grid holds immense significance. Depending on the battery type, different alloys are utilized for grid casting. Sealed valve-controlled lead-acid battery grids are predominantly cast with lead-calcium alloys.
The casting process unfolds through a meticulous series of steps. Firstly, the alloy lead, selected based on battery specifications, is placed into a lead furnace for heating and melting. Once the lead reaches the desired technical requirements, it's cast into a metal mold. After the casting, the mold undergoes a cooling process before the dressing of the grid takes place, yielding the desired shape and dimensions.
In the second step, after a designated aging period, the trimmed grid is ready for transfer to the subsequent stages of the battery production process. This aging period allows for the grid to achieve the necessary structural stability and readiness to proceed to the next stage smoothly.
The plate grid casting process epitomizes the marriage of precision and material selection in lead-acid battery production, ensuring the creation of high-quality grids that serve as reliable carriers of the active material and conductors of conducting fluid, paving the way for efficient and robust battery performance."
