The purpose of this project is to conduct a comparative literature study of different welding techniques for welding batteries. The compared techniques are resistance spot welding, laser beam welding and ultrasonic welding. The performance was evaluated in terms of numerous factors such as production cost, degree of automation and weld quality.
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 findings are applicable to all kinds of battery cell casings. Additionally, the three welding techniques are compared quantitatively in terms of ultimate tensile strength, heat input into a battery cell caused by the welding process, and electrical contact resistance.
In conclusion, the automation of spot welding between lithium-ion battery cells and sheet metal connectors using an Arduino microcontroller has been successfully implemented. The machine was designed to move in three degrees of freedom to accurately place the welding in the desired location.
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.
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.
