The need for metal structures of high porosity, i.e., high surface area/volume ratio and of sound structural integrity for application as electrode structures in electrochemical structures and batteries has become very apparent as new devices requiring high rate outputs become manifest.
Accordingly, it is a prime object of this invention to produce an essentially zinc body which has a porosity level of greater than 50%, the pores being uniformly distributed, interconnected and covering a controlled size range from about 20 ,u. to several hundred microns apparent diameter.
It is a further object to produce a body of porous zinc with sufficient strength such that routine handling and simple machining operations may be accomplished without disruption of the body. I
The FIGS. 1, 3, 7, 9, 10, 11 and 12 are microphotographs of the mixes used.
FIGS. 2, 4, 5, 6 and 8' indicate graphs associated as timetemperature profiles of the mixes as fired in a 3-zone furnace.
Since a principal application of such porous bodies is an electrode for mercury electrical batteries, mercury may be added in predetermined quantities during preparation. The quantity involved is no greater than 10% wt.
ln obtaining a porous zinc structure, two requirements become immediately apparent. First, in order to produce bodies of very high porosity, a filler material may be necessary. This porosity, together with the desired range of pore sizes suggests that a coarse particle-size powder should be used.
Secondly, the strength requirement, at such low bulk density determines that, if possible, some fusion of the zinc should be caused to occur during preparation of the bodies. However, this must be carefully controlled in extent since excess densification will otherwise take place.
The objective then is to predeterminally raisethe temperature of the body in a controlled manner in such a way that the liquidus of the nominal composition is just reached. This procedure accomplishes two results. First, the Zn-Hg alloy is far more rapidly homogenized than would be the case if liquidsolid diffusion was used alone. In other words, the relatively low melting point surface is removed quickly. Secondly, a strong bond is formed between adjacent particles. It was found that to accomplish these objectives a 3-zone furnace firing method had to be found. The middle zone was constructed so that it is only 1 inch in length and is controlled such that the thermal profile peaks in the temperature range 405-420 C. Specimens are pulled through the furnace on a small quartz boat equipped with its own thermocouple.
An additional point relates to the ductility of zinc itself. This metal exhibits a maxima in the ductility vs. temperature curve over the range about 1 10 C. to 150 C. It is desired, therefore, to exploit this feature especially in preparing large and complex shaped structures.
Throughout the work, it is a desideration to use very low compacting loads. This is based upon the principle that it is necessary only to obtain sufficient green strength to facilitate handling during subsequent processing. Sufficient strength herein is obtainable at pressures as low, for example, as 1000 psi in the following ways:
1. Production of a mercury-rich surface on each zinc particle, i.e., amalgamation which results in adjacent particles sticking together.
2. Use of zinc powder which contains particles of rod-like morphology. These tend, during mixing, to interlock in the manner of a felted structure.
It is to be noted that the use of high compacting pressures may be disadvantageous and for the following reasons:
1. At the large particle sizes used, fracture of individual particles occurs quite readily. This may lead to weak regions and irregular amalgamation.
2. In the temperature range where ductility is enhanced high pressures lead to relatively large areas of contact. During subsequent fusion, densification may be excessive and difiicult to control (small areas of zinc-zinc contact are preferred.)
3. Die-life is adversely afiected and overall operating costs would be higher.
The teachings shown in assignee's U.S. Pats. Nos. 3,332,535 and 3,337,336 in this field are of interest in the present context. Zinc powder is introduced into an aqueous solution of mercury salt (l-lgCl The mercury salt is thereby decomposed and metallic mercury immediately alloys with the zinc producing a mercury-rich surface thereon. Alternative l-lg salts are HgSO,, Hg(NO )2).
Further, the teachings of F..l. Kelly and F. Przybyla, U.S. Pat. No. 3,348,967, show the removal of ZnO from the surface of the zinc particles in the form of volatile complex. Salts of the ammonium ion (e.g. Nl-LCl) are suitable for the reaction. The complex is removed by sublimation at reduced pressure. As will be shown infra, however, it is possible to obtain strong, porous bodies of zinc by using the present teachings.
While the salt Nl-LCI has been utilized herein, the role is that of a filler with the additional feature of volatilization during the firing operation. This latter feature may tend to keep the structure open. Other fillers are ZnSO,, K Na sO and ZnCO Common to all compositions used to date is the incorporation of mercury, via decomposition of an aqueous solution of l-lgCl However, amalgamation without initial water treatment is within the present purview. Mercury is present to the extent of 5% wt. 10% wt. with respect to zinc.
