To investigate the application of laser welding in the production of lithium battery modules for electric vehicles, this study employs the finite element method to simulate the welding process of lugs and busbars in lithium batteries under different parameters.
1. The heat during the laser welding of lithium battery lugs is distributed centrally within the weld region, resulting in a significant temperature gradient in front of the molten pool and a smaller gradient at the rear. During the cooling process after welding, the temperature decreases rapidly within 5 s.
The laser welding of the lugs refers to the laser overlay welding of the lugs and the busbar, in which there are two types of materials for the lugs, namely 1060 aluminium alloy and TU1 oxygen-free copper, and the material for the busbar is 6061 aluminium alloy. The main chemical compositions of the materials are shown in Table 1.
Beyond the inhomogeneities in the battery pack assembly induced from the lack of fine welding control, inhomogeneities can be due to bad surface conditions of the materials, their improper alignment, or nonproper functioning of the welding machinery (excessive spatter on the laser head lenses) .
Experimental setup & Quality Inspection As a case study, the laser welding of pouch cell tabs in an overlapping configuration is investigated.
The main contributions of this paper are: A novel laser welding defect dataset is developed that includes seven defect classes and one normal class. The up-sampling technique is used to overcome the imbalanceness in the dataset according to the majority class labels.
