Technological parameters of formation process

The following parameters play an essential role in the technology of formation. 

Each of the above parameters exerts an influence on the formation of the structure of the active masses and on the nature of their interfaces with the grids. Thus, the parameters affect the performance of the battery. The algorithm of the formation should take into account the zonal processes that occur on both types of plate so as to ensure the formation of appropriate active-mass structures, which would guarantee high battery performance characteristics. 

Positive-plate formation. As discussed earlier (Figs. 3.16 and 3.17), zonal processes occur during formation of the positive plates. In the case of the positive-plate 

a corrosion layer is formed around the grid bars. 

the active-mass layer which contacts the corrosion layer is formed. This layer is called the active-mass collecting layer — AMCL [76] and its role will be discussed later.
