Apparatus and method for coating a high tensile strength fibrous material with an extrudible, corrosion-resistant metal to form a composite, continuous wire using dies, a compression cylinder in fluid connection with the dies, a piston for forcing the metal out of the compression cylinder and through the dies and a mechanism 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.

Apparatus for coating elongated core material with metal, comprising: a compression chamber, for receiving metal for extrusion and having an extrusion outlet; an extrusion die assembly disposed for communication with the extrusion outlet of the compression chamber, and for receiving therethrough an elongated core material to be coated; and a piston disposed within the compression chamber, for compression driving metal through the extrusion outlet to the die assembly; said piston having spaced annular lands defining a circumferential seal area facing the inner wall of the compression chamber for receiving metal to form a seal against the wall and substantially prevent leakage of metal past the piston during compression; said piston including an internal passage between the circumferential seal area defined by the lands and the end of the piston that engages the metal in the chamber to admit metal to the seal area.
