Abstract: A method is provided for improving the microstructure of nickel- and ironbased precipitation strengthened superalloys used in high temperature applications by increasing the frequency of "special", low-.SIGMA. CSL grain boundaries to levels in excess of 50 %. Processing entails applying specific thermomechanical processing sequences to precipitation hardenable alloys comprising a series of cold deformation and recrystallization-annealing steps performed within specific limits of deformation, temperature, and annealing time. Materials produced by this process exhibit significantly improved resistance to high temperature degradation (e.g. creep, hot corrosion, etc.), enhanced weldability, and high cycle fatigue resistance.

Abstract: Lead and lead-alloy anodes for electrowinning metals such as zinc, copper, lead, tin, nickel and manganese from sulfuric acid solutions, whereby the electrodes are processed by a repetitive sequence of cold deformation and recrystallization heat treatment, within specified limits of deformation, temperature and annealing time, to achieve an improved microstructure consisting of a high frequency of special low .SIGMA. CSL grain boundaries (i.e. 50 %). The resultant electrodes possess significantly improved resistance to intergranular corrosion, and yield (1) extended service life, (2) the potential for reduction in electrode thickness with a commensurate increase in the number of electrodes per electrowinning cell, and (3) the opportunity to extract higher purity metal product.

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: A surface treatment process for enhancing the intergranular corrosion and intergranular cracking resistance of components fabricated from austenitic Ni-Fe-Cr based alloys comprised of the application of surface cold work to a depth in the range of 0.01mm to 0.5mm, for example by high intensity shot peening, followed by recrystallization heat treatment preferably at solutionizing temperatures (>900C). The surface cold work and annealing process can be repeated to further optimize the microstructure of the near-surface region. Following the final heat treatment, the process can optionally comprise the application of surface cold work of reduced intensity, yielding a cold worked depth of 0.005mm to 0.01mm, in order further enhance resistance to cracking by rendering the near surface in residual compression.

Abstract: A process for enhancing chemical stability and corrosion resistance is described for perforated current collectors made by continuous production processes for use in electrochemical cells, including storage batteries such as lead-acid batteries. The process relies on utilizing a strip processing method, selected from the group of reciprocating expansion, rotary expansion and punching, to perforate the solid metal strip to form a grid or mesh, as a deformation treatment. The perforation- deformation treatment is followed in rapid succession by a heat-treatment to obtain a recrystallized microstructu re in the current collector and optionally by quenching to rapidly reduce the temperature to below approximately 80 ~C. The process yields an improved microstructure consisting of a high frequency of special low .SIGMA. CSL gra in boundaries (> 50 %), exhibiting significantly improved resistance to intergranular corrosion and cracking. Perforated current collectors produced with this process from a solid lead-alloy strip exhibit superior growth and corrosion properties when employed as positive grids in a lead-acid battery.
