Embodiment 1

[0024] Example 1, a batch of 20 initial samples of type I battery casings were welded, and the penetration depth of the welds was 1.1 mm.

[0025] Preparations before welding: First, use clean white gauze dipped in acetone to clean the upper shell and the pole sleeve respectively. The cleanliness of the surface to be welded requires no oil film, water film and other organic impurities on the welded surface. It is also forbidden to touch and re-contaminate by hand. Once the workpiece is cleaned, it should be welded as soon as possible, and clean white gloves should be worn when cleaning. After cleaning, assemble the pole sleeve and the upper case. The assembly adopts special tooling fixtures, and the assembly gap is less than 0.05mm

Abstract

A nickel-metal hydride battery shell electron beam welding method is characterized by including the following steps of firstly, preparation before welding, namely, an upper shell and a pole sleeve are cleaned respectively, oil films, water films and organic impurities on the welding surface are removed, the pole sleeve and the upper shell are assembled after being completely cleaned, and the assembling clearance is smaller than 0.05mm; secondly, the electron beam welding process, namely, in order to improve electron beam penetrating capacity and reduce porosity, vacuum welding is suitable for being adopted, and the welding vacuum degree is larger than 5*10<-4> mbar. By the adoption of vacuum electron beam welding, the welding defects of pores, concave parts and poor formed surfaces in the nickel-base superalloy electron beam welding process are effectively overcome, welding deformation is avoided, the comprehensive mechanical performance of a battery shell welding connector with the pole sleeve is improved, and nickel-base superalloy welding joints which meet the welding technical requirements of external quality, internal quality and the depth of fusion are acquired.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a welding method for a nickel-hydrogen battery casing and a pole sleeve. Background technique [0002] The nickel-hydrogen battery shell is an important part of the nickel-hydrogen battery in the space power system. As a pressure vessel part, it is made of nickel-based superalloy, and the wall thickness is generally 0.4mm to 1.2mm. Its basic structure includes an upper shell and a lower shell, and a plurality of pole sleeves made of nickel-based superalloy materials are welded on the upper shell. [0003] The nickel-hydrogen battery needs to have a certain pressure when it is working. The leakage of the shell will cause the loss of hydrogen and the drying up of the battery, and finally lead to the failure of the battery open circuit. Therefore, the nickel-hydrogen battery shell is required to withstand a certain burst pressure, which requires The welding seam after welding the upper casing and the pole sleeve has high welding ...
