Porosity Characteristics of Nickel Sinter
Abstract
The porosity characteristics of sintered-nickel plaque made by a range of manufacturing processes for use in the nickel electrodes in nickel hydrogen cells have been measured. These characteristics include variations in porosity and pore size through the thickness of the sinter, as well as the uniformity of the sinter. Sinter made using an aqueous slurry process is found to provide the uniformity typically found in dry-powder sinter processes, with the smaller pore sizes typically associated with the alcohol-based slurry sinter process.
