METHOD OF MANUFACTURING ZINC-TITANIUM MOTHER ALLOY AND MANGANESE DRY BATTERY

摘要

The present invention provides a method of manufacturing a zinc-titanium mother alloy and a manganese dry battery having an anode zinc can prepared from the zinc-titanium alloy. The method comprises: adding spongy titanium to molten zinc; and melting the spongy titanium to alloy with the zinc at 500 to 750.degree.C for 0.5 to 6 hours, thereby to obtain a zinc-titanium alloy which contains 0.001 to 5% by weight of titanium. The anode zinc can prepared from the zinc-titanium mother alloy is substantially free from metallic titanium and intermetallic compounds having a Zn-Ti atomic ratio of 1/2 or more.
