Abstract
Work done in a series of sequential experiments has indicated that the Mix 234 cathode formulation, Pellon separators and Steel cans will be carried through to factory trials. Cathode molding parameters beyond the range of normal tolerances have indicated that high moisture content (29% Colution volume) mixes are best for cell performance. Interactions between cathode preform weight and mix moisture content affect cathode density and per cent cathode packing and subsequent cell service. The higher preform weight (within the machine capability) tried in the experimentation was best from a cathode molding and performance standpoint. Statistical design of experiments in this quarter and subsequent testing has shown the full factorial design to be best in determining main effects and interactions when wide differences in temperature dependent mean values are involved. (e.g., between -40 and 70 F.) Future work will include completion of statistical work from experimentation in this report and factory trails of best cell model for performance characterization.
