The Challenge of Battery Pack Assembly

Battery technology has become integral to numerous industries, from electric vehicles (EVs) to portable electronics. As the demand for high-performance batteries continues to rise, so do the challenges associated with their assembly. One of the key challenges lies in welding the various components that make up a battery pack.

Joining Dissimilar Materials:

Battery packs consist of different materials, including various metals and alloys. Welding these dissimilar materials together accurately and reliably has historically been a complex task.

Strong, Durable, and Precise Welds:

Battery components require welds that are not only strong and durable but also precise. Even the tiniest welding defects can compromise the safety and functionality of the entire battery.

FAQ

What is percussion welding?

A heat-plus-impact process for joining metals.

An electric arc supplies the heat, then a rapid mechanical movement forces the two materials together, forming a full metallic bond with no filler.

Do I need filler metal, solder or flux?

No. There's no filler, solder or flux, and no electrodes to wear out.

That means cleaner joints, less waste, and no consumables to buy.

How do I know if my materials can be welded?

Start with the Parameter Finder or the weld schedules table.
