Power lithium batteries have been widely used in electric vehicles and energy storage systems due to their high energy density and long service life. However, the welding process of power lithium batteries is still a key factor affecting their performance and safety. Laser welding technology has become an important method for the manufacturing of power lithium batteries due to its high precision, fast welding speed, and good weld quality.
Laser welding technology for power lithium batteries mainly includes two types: solid-state laser welding and fiber laser welding. Solid-state laser welding is suitable for welding thin materials and is widely used in the welding of battery cells, while fiber laser welding is suitable for welding thicker materials and is mainly used in the welding of battery modules.
The welding process of power lithium batteries mainly includes material preparation, welding process optimization, and welding quality control. Before welding, the surface of the battery material must be cleaned to ensure a good welding effect. The welding process should be optimized according to the material properties and welding requirements, such as beam quality, welding speed, and energy distribution. During welding quality control, the welding seam should be inspected for defects such as porosity, cracks, and voids, and non-destructive testing should be carried out to ensure the welding quality.
In conclusion, laser welding technology is a promising method for the production of power lithium batteries. It has the advantages of high precision, fast welding speed, and good weld quality, which can significantly improve the performance and safety of power lithium batteries. With the development of laser technology, the application of laser welding technology in power lithium batteries will become more widespread in the future.
