Abstract Structures and corrosion properties of the low antimony-lead alloys for the lead acid battery electrode were studied by means of metallographic and electrochemical methods. Comparisons were made with pure lead, lead-antimony alloys, and lead-antimonyselenium alloys. The grain size of the alloys was dependent on the antimony content and could be reduced by the addition of selenium. The effect of the grain refining on the corrosion attack in the positive electrode was interpreted in terms of the anodic dissolution of antimony.
