Aluminum battery enclosures or other platform parts typically provide a weight savings of 40% compared to an equivalent steel design. The most-used and best-suited alloys for battery enclosures are of the 6000-series Al-Si-Mg-Cu family, Afseth shared, noting that these alloys are “very well compatible” with end-of-life recycling.
One of the most popular uses of extruded aluminum now is as the battery enclosure for Electric Vehicles. As the name indicates a battery enclosure is an enclosure to hold the battery modules and to protect them from damage due to temperature variations and from shocks.
When the complete battery enclosure is made of extruded aluminium, it helps in creating a natural electromagnetic shield that prevents interference with other electronic components in the vehicle. Aluminium extrusions also allow better energy absorption in case of an accident, compared to steel or carbon fibre.
Soon, it may no longer be economically beneficial to use aluminum, especially for the small cars that have moderate range and target the lowest possible price point.” Aluminum is the dominant material for electric vehicle (EV) battery enclosures for one simple but significant factor: lightweighting capability.
Constellium provides 3xxx, 5xxx, and 6xxx aluminium sheet solutions for battery enclosures, including the cladded cooling plates that help maintain batteries in their optimal temperature range. Aluminium’s thermal conductivity is about five times that of steel, making it the superior choice for thermal applications.
The majority of long-range BEVs in production use aluminum as the main material for the battery enclosure. (Constellium) Mass reduction is the main driver behind aluminum battery enclosures, but thermal requirements prove challenging for the lightweight material.
