Problems solved by technology

This alloy usually has better deep drawing, welding and strength, but there are still some problems: poor quality is prone to occur during laser welding, such as pores and air leakage; when the depth of the welding pool is too large (such as exceeding 0.3mm), the welding pool Poor uniformity, easy to splash, seriously affecting the sealing of the casing and the safety performance of the battery
However, as the battery capacity increases and the shell wall thickness increases, the depth of the molten pool will inevitably increase; there is an interaction between deep drawing, welding and strength, and if the strength is increased, the deep drawing performance may be reduced
CN103409668A discloses an Al-Mn alloy for a power battery casing, which restricts the composition and microstructure of the Al-Mn alloy and has good welding performance, but the mechanical properties of the material are low; CN101910434A discloses a power battery The battery shell is made of 1-series aluminum alloy, but the mechanical properties of this material are too low, and the scope of application will be greatly limited; Patent CN102206775A invented an aluminum alloy used for power battery shells. In order to improve the welding performance of the material, the invention reduce the strength properties of the material

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of metal and metal processing, in particular to an aluminum alloy for a power battery casing and a processing method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the reduction of oil resources and the increase of car ownership, the environmental pollution is intensified, and the advantages of new energy vehicles are becoming more and more obvious. Not only that, the national industrial policy also strongly supports the development of the new energy vehicle industry. Therefore, the new energy vehicle industry has entered a period of rapid development. Generally, the aluminum alloy used to manufacture the key components of new energy vehicles - the power battery shell is 3003 aluminum alloy. This alloy usually has better deep drawing, welding and strength, but there are still some problems: poor quality is prone to occur during laser welding, such as pores and air leakage; when the depth of the welding pool is too larg...
