Abstract
The quality management of laser welding is crucial for EV battery manufacturing as it directly affects vehicle safety. However, there is currently no test standard to evaluate the quality of laser-welded structures. Visual inspection and tensile testing have been used to examine the quality of lap joint laser welding. However, it is dangerous to determine the optimal welding parameters only by tensile strength. The aim of this study was to determine the optimal laser welding parameters by conducting tests for various load directions, such as peel, moment, and low-cycle fatigue tests. As a results, in the case of Al/Cu welding that is highly brittle, the peel test demonstrated greater discrimination than the tensile test. In contrast, the moment test was more effective at determining the strength of the local interface joints. Lastly, the fatigue test yielded similar outcomes to the tensile test. It is challenging to completely replace the tensile test results and utilize them independently. Hence, it is recommended to utilize them exclusively as sub-tests to establish the ideal laser welding conditions.
