Abstract: The invention relates to a battery electrode foil comprising an aluminium alloy, wherein the aluminium alloy has the following composition in weight percent: Si: 0.07-0.12% by weight, Fe: 0.18-0.24% by weight, Cu: 0.03-0.08% by weight, Mn: 0.015-0.025% by weight, Zn: ?0.01% by weight, Ti: 0.015-0.025% by weight, Zn: ?0.01% by weight, Ti: 0.015-0.025% by weight, Mn: 0.015-0.025% by weight, Zn: ?0.01% by weight, Ti: 0.015-0.025% by weight, wherein the aluminium alloy can contain impurities up to a maximum of 0.01% in each case, up to a maximum of 0.03% in total, but the proportion of aluminium must be at least 99.5% by weight; wherein the battery electrode foil has intermetallic phases of a diameter length of 0.1 to 1.0 ?m with a density of ?9500 particles/mm2. The invention further relates to a process for the production of a battery electrode foil, its use for the production of accumulators, and accumulators containing the battery electrode foil.

Abstract: A strip casting system for aluminium and/or aluminium alloys comprising a casting furnace and a revolving chill mould having a casting gap. The revolving chill mould is designed as a roll pair, roller pair, caterpillar pair or belt pair. The strip casting system has an active means for transporting metal melt from the casting furnace to the casting gap and a casting region arranged in front of the casting gap. The casting region is delimited on one side by the revolving chill mould. A melt pool is formed in the casting region, from which metal melt flows or is drawn into the casting gap. The casting furnace is connected to the casting region by a pipe system with means for feeding the metal melt into the casting region, which can feed the metal melt to the casting region below the surface of the melt pool formed in the casting region.

Abstract: A method for the surface treatment of flat products made of aluminium alloys. The method includes pickling the flat product, in particular for degreasing the flat product. The method includes carrying out a colour measurement on the surface of the flat product to determine at least one measured colour value after pickling the flat product. The method includes generating output information on the basis of the at least one measured colour value. The output information is indicative of compliance with at least one rule for the measured colour value and outputting or triggering the output of the output information. The invention further relates to a device for the surface treatment of flat products made of aluminium alloys and to a use of a colorimeter which is configured to determine at least one measured colour value in a surface treatment of flat products made of aluminium alloys.
