Problems solved by technology

Due to many factors such as low positioning accuracy of the battery module tooling fixture before welding and unreasonable selection of laser welding process parameters, quality defects such as welding deviation, air holes, and arc craters are prone to occur after laser welding
[0004] With the continuous improvement of people's requirements for the quality of post-weld forming of automobile power battery shells, it is difficult for pure laser welding to meet the current demand for product quality of battery manufacturers.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of material processing, in particular to a laser welding method for an aluminum alloy casing of an automobile power battery. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of new energy technology, power batteries have an unprecedented development trend in the automotive field. Laser welding is mainly applied to the welding of automotive power battery casings. It has the advantages of narrow heat-affected zone, small welding deformation, large weld depth-to-width ratio, flexible welding position, and easy automation. [0003] At present, the pure laser welding method mainly performs welding through the trajectory determined by the pre-welding fixture. Due to many factors such as low positioning accuracy of battery module tooling fixtures before welding and unreasonable selection of laser welding process parameters, quality defects such as welding deviation, pores, and arc craters are prone to occu...
