Brass (CuZn37) test samples are used for the quantitative comparison of the welding techniques, as this metal can be processed by all three welding techniques. At the end of the presented work, the suitability of resistance spot, ultrasonic and laser beam welding for connecting battery cells is evaluated.
Battery cells are most often put into modules or packs when produced for electrically driven vehicles. The variable of greatest influence when welding battery packs is the contact resistance between the cell and the connection tab. It is crucial to minimize this variable as much as possible to prevent energy loss in the form of heat generation.
There are many parts that need to be connected in the battery system, and welding is often the most effective and reliable connection method. Laser welding has the advantages of non-contact, high energy density, accurate heat input control, and easy automation, which is considered to be the ideal choice for electric vehicle battery manufacturing.
Whether to power our latest portable electronic device, power tool, or hybrid/electric vehicle, the removable battery pack is essential to our everyday lives. Tab-to-terminal connection is one of the key battery pack welding applications.
UWB is also suitable for creating electrical connections between cylindrical battery cells. Although proper fixation of the cell is paramount for the welding, as any significant lateral movement will reduce the vibration amplitude and consequently diminish the power of the welding process.
The search was then performed using Uppsala University’s Library database and Google scholar which cover a wide range of articles and sources. Three methods for welding batteries were given in the template, being laser beam-, ultrasonic-, and resistance spot welding.
Welding Technology Options for EV Battery Assembly
Welding technology used for EV battery assembly must deliver: Least contact resistance between the connection tab and the cell to cut energy loss via heat generation [10]. Least inter-cell electrical resistance to reduce electrical losses to ensure high torque via large peak current [11].
