Abstract: Recrystallized lead and lead alloy positive electrodes for lead acid batteries having an increased percentage of special grain boundaries in the microstructure, preferably to at least 50%, which have been provided by a process comprising steps of working or straining the lead or lead alloy, and subsequently annealing the lead or lead alloy. Either a single cycle of working and annealing can be provided, or a plurality of such cycles can be provided. The amount of cold work or strain, the recrystallization time and temperature, and the number of repetitions of such steps are selected to ensure that a substantial increase in the population of special grain boundaries is provided in the microstructure, to improve resistance to creep, intergranular corrosion and intergranular cracking of the electrodes during battery service, and result in extended battery life and the opportunity to reduce the size and weight of the battery.

Abstract: Recrystallized lead and lead alloy positive current collectors and connector s such as straps and lugs for use e.g. in lead acid batteries and electrowinni ng anodes, having an increased percentage of special grain boundaries in at lea st part of the microstructure, which have been provided by a process comprising of (i) cold or hot rolling or cold or hot extrusion or (ii) steps of deformi ng the lead or lead alloy, and subsequently annealing the lead or lead alloy. Either a single cycle of working and annealing can be provided, or a plurali ty of such cycles can be provided. The amount of deformation, the recrystallization time and temperature, and the number of repetitions of suc h steps are selected to ensure that a substantial increase in the population o f special grain boundaries is provided in the microstructure, to improve resistance to creep, intergranular corrosion and intergranular cracking of t he current collectors and connectors during battery service, and result in extended battery life and the opportunity to reduce the size and weight of t he battery.

Abstract: Se proporciona un metodo para mejorar la microestructura de superaleaciones reforzadas por precipitacion basadas en niquel y hierro utilizadas en aplicaciones de alta temperatura, mediante el incremento de la frecuencia de los limites " especiales" de grano bajo en ? CSL hasta niveles mayores del 50 por ciento. El procesamiento implica aplicar secuencias de procesamiento termomecanico especificas para aleaciones endurecibles por precipitacion, las cuales comprenden una serie de pasos de deformacion en frio y templado por recristalizacion realizados dentro de limites especificos de deformacion, temperatura, y tiempo de templado. Los materiales producidos mediante este proceso exhiben una resistencia significativamente mejorada a la degradacion por alta temperatura (por ejemplo, arrastre, corrosion por calor, etc.), mejor soldabilidad, y alta resistencia por fatiga del ciclo.
