A composite wire made by coating a core material by solid-phase extrusion of a uniform layer of a corrosion resistant metal onto the core material. The metal includes lead and has uniform, small and longitudinally oriented grains.

Coated elongated core material

Apparatus and method for coating a high tensile strength fibrous material with an extrudible, corrosion-resistant metal to form a composite, continuous wire using dies, a compression cylinder in fluid connection with the dies, a piston for forcing the metal out of the compression cylinder and through the dies and means for feeding a fibrous material through the dies as the metal coating is extruded out the dies with the fiber. Continuous lengths of a composite material made by such a method, electrode grids comprised of the composite material made by such a method and a cabled composite wire constructed of the composite material made by such a method. Also, series and parallel connected cells comprising a battery utilizing such electrode grids.

Method and apparatus for coating a core material with metal

A high tensile strength fibrous material is coated with an extruded, corrosion-resistant metal to form a composite wire which is used in the formation of a grid element for a battery.
