The casings that house the lithium-ion battery modules used in electric vehicles (EVs) must provide a vital combination of heat resistance, sustainability, processability and high strength.
Battery casings are essential components in all types of lithium and lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and typically consist of nickel-coated steel hard casings for 18650 and 21700 cell formats. These steel casings comprise over one quarter of total battery cell mass and do not actively contribute to battery capacity.
Outokumpu automotive experts has compiled a guide for automotive and battery system designers keen to explore the possibilities of using high performance stainless steels for EV battery casings.
The choice of materials used for a battery case has to cover a wide range of performance issues. Replacing steel or bonded aluminium with thermoplastics or glass fibre composites is offering lighter cases and more options for increasing the energy density by using larger components that can be more easily assembled.
These steel casings comprise over one quarter of total battery cell mass and do not actively contribute to battery capacity. It is therefore possible to achieve considerable battery performance improvements, in terms of device energy density, by reducing the mass of the battery casing.
Stress & abuse testing of the cells revealed no compromise of cell safety. Battery casings are essential components in all types of lithium and lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and typically consist of nickel-coated steel hard casings for 18650 and 21700 cell formats.

Battery Aluminum Foil Materials for Lithium-ion Cell | HDM
Aluminum foil is widely used for the soft pack of lithium batteries in consumer electronics, new energy vehicles, and energy storage applications. HDM''s battery soft pack foil protects personal safety, and in the event of a safety hazard the soft pack battery will at most bulge and crack, rather than explode like a steel-cased aluminum-cased battery cell.
