刀片电池外壳高频感应焊接接头组织和力学性能

Microstructure and mechanical properties of blade battery shell joints by high-frequency induction welding

  • 摘要: 随着新能源汽车的飞速发展,动力电池外壳的连接备受关注. 为了获得高质量的电池外壳焊接接头,采用高频感应焊接技术对壁厚0.35 mm的3003-H18铝合金电池外壳进行焊接,分析了焊接工艺对焊缝的宏观形貌、微观组织和力学性能的影响. 结果表明,铝合金高频感应焊接后热影响区小,焊缝宽度极窄,其显微组织为细小等轴晶,无气孔和氧化物夹杂等缺陷,平均晶粒尺寸约为9.5 μm. 当焊接功率为11 ~ 12 kW,焊接频率为770 kHz,挤压量为0.15 mm,焊接速度为60 m/min时,可得到综合力学性能最佳的焊接接头,抗拉强度为150 MPa,达到母材抗拉强度的70%,断后伸长率为1%,约为母材断后伸长率43%,焊接接头硬度总体呈W形分布. 造成接头力学性能下降的原因:一方面与大角度晶界和再结晶织构有关;另一方面晶粒尺寸和第二相粒子的分布也会影响焊接接头的抗拉强度和硬度.

     

    Abstract: With the rapid development of new energy vehicles, the connection of the power battery shell has attracted much attention. In order to obtain high-quality welded joints of battery shells, high-frequency induction welding (HFIW) technology was used to weld the battery shell of 3003-H18 aluminum alloy with a thickness of 0.35 mm, and the effect of the welding process on the macroscopic morphology, microstructure, and mechanical properties of the weld was analyzed. The results show that the heat-affected zone of the aluminum alloy after HFIW is small; the width of the weld is extremely narrow; its microstructure is fine isometric crystals without defects such as holes and oxide inclusions. The average grain size is approximately 9.5 μm. With a welding power of 11~12 kW, a welding frequency of 770 kHz, an extrusion amount of 0.15 mm, and a welding speed of 60 m/min, the welded joints with optimal comprehensive mechanical properties can be obtained. The tensile strength reaches 150 MPa, accounting for 70% of that of the base material, and the elongation after fracture is 1%, accounting for 43% of that of the base material. The welded joint hardness generally exhibits a W-shaped distribution. The reasons of decline in the mechanical properties of the joints lie in two aspects. On the one hand, it is related to the large-angle grain boundaries and recrystallization structure. On the other hand, the tensile strength and hardness of the welded joints are also influenced by the size of grains and distribution of the second-phase particles.
