Sheet materials for lithium-ion battery cases (LB Series)

Characteristics

Aluminum alloys developed for use in lithium-ion battery cases.

normal temperatures, but also when the battery is left discharged for long periods or the case is exposed to high-temperature radiant heat.

The alloys combine high material strength and excellent laser weldability.

A variety of deep drawing forming processes are possible (cylindrical shapes, square shapes, etc.).

Applications

Electrical and electronic-related - Lithium-ion battery cases, products for deep drawing applications requiring high strength, cases, and members to which laser welding will be applied, etc.
