Different welding processes are used depending on the design and requirements of each battery pack or module. Joints are also made to join the internal anode and cathode foils of battery cells, with ultrasonic welding (UW) being the preferred method for pouch cells.
Moreover, the high-volume production requirements, meaning the high number of joints per module/BP, increase the absolute number of defects. The first part of this study focuses on associating the challenges of welding application in battery assembly with the key performance indicators of the joints.
This welding process is used primarily for welding two or more metal sheets, in case of battery it is generally a nickel strip and positive terminal/negative terminal of the battery together by applying pressure and heat from an electric current to the weld area. Advantages: Low initial costs.
Other joining methods such as micro-tungsten-inert-gas welding (micro-TIG), micro-clinching, soldering, and magnetic-pulse welding exist and have been proposed for battery assembly applications, but they are not well established, and therefore their feasibility is still being evaluated, or they are not widely used in the industry.
A parametric study of the welding of cylindrical Hilumin battery cells to thin sheet connectors was also carried out . The authors investigated the effects of various process parameters such as tip geometry, connector strip material and shape, maximum supply voltage, welding time and force, and the distance between two electrodes.
Process optimisation is by far the most researched area of quality assurance for battery welding applications. Most of the studies have been carried out either as pure experimental investigations to find the process parameters that optimise one or more KPIs of a joint, suppress defects, or validate a process model.
