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.
Most manufacturing industries use ultrasonic welding in welding lithium-ion batteries. The ultrasonic spot welding method uses high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations to weld similar or dissimilar materials. Reliable standards for welding an advanced lithium ion batteries are one of the key components in manufacturing electric vehicles.
The highest heat input occurred at ultrasonic welding, but for all welding techniques the heat was very localized and no damaging temperatures occurred at the lithium-ion cells. The results presented in this paper were gathered within the research project EEBatt, funded by the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs and Media, Energy and Technology.
Among the first to develop a highly-advanced servo-controlled ultrasonic spot welding machine for advanced lithium ion battery assembly is TECH-SONIC, Inc. It uses the Closed-Loop Control welding process which combines ultrasonic welding, servo control, user-friendly microprocessor control, and load cell force feedback.
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.
The counterpart has to be fixed but may have any thickness. It was reported that ultrasonic weld vibrations can damage the inside of a pouch cell, especially when the conductors inside the battery cell are also ultrasonically welded. In order to prevent the propagation of the vibrations into the cell, the terminal tabs need to be clamped .
