Brass (CuZn37) test samples are used for the quantitative comparison of the welding techniques, as this metal can be processed by all three welding techniques. At the end of the presented work, the suitability of resistance spot, ultrasonic and laser beam welding for connecting battery cells is evaluated.
Thus the welding method has a minimal impact on the battery as there are no catalyzing reactions in the battery caused by the heat. On the other hand deformation may occur if too great of a welding force is applied by the electrodes. This deformation may alter the temperature distribution and hinder the current from flowing the shortest path.

This is a common lithium battery welding method, through the current through the welding material to generate heat, so that the welding material instantly melted, forming a welding point. In lithium battery manufacturing, resistance welding can be used to connect the positive electrode, the negative electrode and the conductive part of the battery together.
For DCEP or direct current electrode positive connection (formerly known as reverse polarity), you have to connect the electrode holder to the positive terminal and the ground clamp to the negative one. As a result, electrons will flow from the workpiece towards the electrode. For most stick welding applications, we use the DCEP setup.
The electrodes are dried again to remove all solvent content and to reduce free water ppm prior to the final processes before assembling the cell. Step 7 – Cutting. The final shape of the electrode including tabs for the electrodes are cut. At this point you will have electrodes that are exactly the correct shape for the final cell assembly.
