The quality assurance for battery welding applications is still in its infancy. Commercial solutions exist, but dedicated solutions are based on end-of-line approaches, while online solutions tend to address the generic quality issues of a specific welding process.
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.
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.
This means that, on the one hand, there may be accessibility issues as the testing is performed on already assembled modules or packs, and on the other hand, key performance indicators for battery welding applications, such as electrical and fatigue performance of the joints, are not served.
Of course, if someone looks beyond the battery welding applications many in-process quality assurance approaches are available for welding . In the case of laser welding, the in- process monitoring is mainly based on imaging, acoustic emission, and E/M signal techniques in general .
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.
