This third part of the multi-part article discusses magnetic pulse welding, micro-TIG, and clinching for electric vehicle (EV) battery productions. While the first two mechanisms use high temperatures to make joints, the clinching mechanism is based … [Read more...]
Part II: What joining methods optimize EV battery production efficiency?
Resistance spot welding and wire bonding are popular choices for creating joints during EV battery production. However, every joining technology comes with a trade-off, giving packaging engineers room to select the appropriate one for their battery … [Read more...]
What are the uses for lasers in electric vehicles?
Lasers are used in manufacturing and operating electric vehicles (EVs), including for cutting, marking, and welding components in the drivetrain and battery pack and in heads-up displays (HUDs) and LIDAR. This FAQ begins with a review of how lasers … [Read more...]
How ultrasonic welding is bonding the latest EV power modules
Found in the power modules of electric vehicle (EV) power supplies, insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) are integral to fully electric and hybrid vehicle operation. These three-terminal power semiconductors provide the high-speed, high-voltage … [Read more...]
