Abstract
The use of a continuous process for making a directly cast strip to provide a thickness satisfactory for industrial cells and batteries for stationary and motive power applications is disclosed, the thickness of the strip being at least 0.060 inch, and the process providing a visually crack-free surface in the transverse direction of the directly cast strip, the strip being lead or a lead-based alloy, such as, for example, calcium-tin-silver.
