Ultrasonic assisted laser welding applications for electric vehicle battery assembly

This free event is organised by our Eastern Counties Branch for our members. Other members and non-members are very welcome to join us.

Overview:-  EV sales will reach 44 million units per year by 2030. There is a recognised need to increase the number of battery packs manufactured.

Laser welding has emerged as the optimal welding technique for accelerating EV battery pack manufacture as it is 4-5 times faster than current welding processes. However, there are metallurgical challenges, such as joining multiple dissimilar materials of varying thicknesses.

Speaker:- Phil Carr (Director Carrs WeldingTech
