Development of Magnesium Wafer Cells
Abstract
This paper discusses the development of magnesium wafer cells. The principal physical condition causing constructional difficulties in both the 1- 3/4 X 3-1/4 inch and 1-1/8 X 1-1/8 inch cell size batteries was the evolution of gas during storage and discharge. A revision in seal construction and moisture barrier size reduced the failure rate, particularly on the 1-1/8 X 1-1/8 inch cell size. A protective coating to prevent corrosion of the non-reactive side of the anode was necessary to prevent corrosion of the electrical contact area of the anode.
