Apparatus and method for coating a high tensile strength fibrous material (86) with an extrudible, corrosion-resistant metal to form a composite, continuous wire (100) using dies (58, 60), a compression cylinder (30) in fluid connection with the dies, a piston (52) for forcing the metal out of the compression cylinder (30) and through the dies (58, 60) and means (90-110) for feeding a fibrous material through the dies as the metal coating is extruded out the dies with the fiber. Continuous lengths of a composite material made by such a method, electrode grids comprised of the composite material made by such a method and a cabled composite wire constructed of the composite material made by such a method. Also, series and parallel connected cells comprising a battery utilizing such electrode grids. |
