Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of lithium battery technology, and in particular to a pretreatment method for detecting the weld penetration and width of laser welds in lithium batteries. Background Technology

[0002] Laser welding of the positive and negative electrode connecting pieces of the aluminum shell and cover plate is a crucial step in lithium battery production, and the welding quality directly affects battery quality. Therefore, it is necessary to measure the width and depth of the weld bead after laser welding during production. Based on the width and depth of the weld bead, the rationality of process parameters is determined, and these parameters are adjusted during production as a reference to ensure battery quality. However, the reliability of currently advanced online weld penetration detection systems is still under development and optimization. Due to limitations in macroscopic sampling methods, it is impossible to effectively separate mesoscopic signals with weld penetration characteristics from other interfering signals (such as radiation signals from the keyhole inner wall), resulting in a low proportion of effective signals in the detection data and increased difficulty in extracting weld penetration information. Furthermore, existing data analysis methods struggle to effectively handle complex and drastically fluctuating mesoscopic signals, making weld penetration feature extraction difficult.

[0003] Patent CN114812426A describes treating the aluminum casing welding area of ​​a battery with 5%-8% dilute nitric acid before testing the welding depth. Patent CN117259976B employs a signal preprocessing method that superimposes data over a period of time and then homogenizes it. This method accurately obtains trend-based characteristic data within that time period, effectively ignoring the interference caused by rapid fluctuations in keyhole depth on weld penetration detection, and enabling effective judgment of the welding penetration trend.

[0004] However, in the current production process, the welding inspection at the battery cell end is quite complicated. The real-time weld depth monitoring results of the entire welding trajectory cannot be used as a basis for judging the normal flow of products. Therefore, it is necessary to manually perform longitudinal cutting tests on the weld after welding. Thus, it is very necessary to use simple, intuitive and quick methods to measure the weld depth and width, characterize the effect after laser welding, and explore the weld pretreatment method before the weld depth test. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Based on this, the purpose of this invention is to provide a pretreatment method for detecting the weld penetration and width of laser welding in lithium batteries. This method can remove the oxide layer and impurities on the metal surface, improve surface smoothness, increase the brightness and reflectivity of the metal surface, and improve the accuracy of weld penetration and width measurement calibration.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: This invention provides a pretreatment method for detecting the weld penetration and width of laser welds in lithium batteries, which includes the following steps: S1. Cut the weld bead at the weld bead position of the sample to be tested to expose the weld bead cross section and obtain the pole weld bead sample and the aluminum shell weld bead sample; S2. Grind the weld cross-section of the pole weld sample and the peripheral weld sample; S3. Immerse the electrode weld sample and the aluminum shell weld sample in a chemical reagent or perform electrolytic polishing; clean and dry.

[0007] Etching time control: Different reagents and weld beads require different etching times, and the appropriate etching time needs to be determined through experiments. If the etching time is too short, the microstructure will not be clearly displayed; if the etching time is too long, it will lead to over-etching of the microstructure, affecting the observation results.

[0008] As a further improvement to the above-mentioned solution of the present invention, the grinding in step S2 is to first use a rubber stopper to grind the longitudinal section of the weld bead with 500# or 1000# sandpaper, which can quickly and easily obtain a weld bead sample of aluminum electrode tab with uniform thickness, consistent surface scratch direction, and clear display of the copper-aluminum composite material joint. Then, an MP-2B grinding and polishing machine is used for fine grinding, using 1500# sandpaper, setting the speed to 500 rpm, and grinding the longitudinal section of the weld bead perpendicular to the grinding disc until the surface is smooth and free of burrs.

[0009] As a further improvement of the above-mentioned solution of the present invention, when the electrode of the sample to be tested is a copper electrode, the electrode weld sample is immersed in a chemical reagent for 180~300s, wherein the chemical reagent is selected from one of FeCl3 solution, a mixture of nitric acid and ethanol, and a mixture of ammonia and hydrogen peroxide.

[0010] For copper electrodes: When using FeCl3 solution, the iron ions in the ferric chloride can undergo a displacement reaction with copper, dissolving the copper and forming copper ions. Simultaneously, it corrodes the weld bead structure, highlighting the microstructure. It is often used for deeper corrosion of copper weld beads to observe more detailed microstructure. However, it is important to control the reaction time to avoid over-corrosion. In a mixture of nitric acid and ethanol, nitric acid, with its strong oxidizing properties, reacts chemically with copper, dissolving some of its components. This creates a contrast between the weld bead and the base metal structure, clearly revealing the microstructure. It is a commonly used reagent, effective for corroding most copper and copper alloy weld beads, and relatively simple and safe to operate. In a mixture of ammonia and hydrogen peroxide, hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidizing properties and can oxidize the copper surface, while ammonia can act as a complexing agent, stabilizing the reaction products and allowing the reaction to continue. This enables the corrosion display of the weld structure. For some copper alloy welds containing special elements (such as nickel and zinc), this reagent can better display their microstructure characteristics. However, safety precautions should be taken when using it because hydrogen peroxide has certain corrosiveness and instability.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above-described scheme of the present invention, the concentration of the FeCl3 solution is 10%~40%; And / or, the mixture of nitric acid and ethanol is generally prepared by nitric acid (HNO3) and ethanol (mass fraction of 95%-98%), with a volume ratio of nitric acid to ethanol of 1:5, 1:10 or 4:96, etc. And / or, the mixture of ammonia and hydrogen peroxide is usually made by mixing ammonia and hydrogen peroxide in a certain proportion, for example, the volume ratio of ammonia to hydrogen peroxide is 1:1, and an appropriate amount of deionized water may also be added for dilution.

[0012] As a further improvement of the above-mentioned solution of the present invention, when the electrode of the sample to be tested is an aluminum electrode, the electrode weld sample is immersed in a chemical reagent for 60-180 seconds. The chemical reagent is selected from NaOH solution, or a mixture of hydrochloric acid, nitric acid and deionized water, or a mixture of picric acid, hydrochloric acid, ethanol and deionized water.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above-mentioned solution of the present invention, the aluminum shell weld sample is immersed in a chemical reagent for 60-180 seconds. The chemical reagent is selected from NaOH solution, or a mixture of hydrochloric acid, nitric acid and deionized water, or a mixture of picric acid, hydrochloric acid, ethanol and deionized water.

[0014] For aluminum electrodes and aluminum shells: Sodium hydroxide reacts chemically with aluminum, dissolving it and generating sodium aluminate and hydrogen gas, thus corroding the weld bead structure. It is suitable for observing weld bead structures of pure aluminum and some specific aluminum alloys. However, the corrosion effect may be poor for aluminum alloys with high silicon content; therefore, it is important to control the concentration and time to prevent excessive corrosion. In a mixture of hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, and deionized water, hydrochloric acid undergoes a displacement reaction with aluminum, while the oxidizing properties of nitric acid help remove surface impurities and oxide layers, making the structure clearer. It has a good corrosion effect on some aluminum alloy weld bead structures containing copper, magnesium, and other alloying elements. However, ventilation is important during use to avoid inhaling harmful gases. A mixture of picric acid, hydrochloric acid, ethanol, and deionized water selectively corrodes certain phases in aluminum alloys, causing different phases to exhibit different colors and contrasts, facilitating observation and analysis of the microstructure. It is often used to analyze the phase composition and microstructure of aluminum alloy weld bead structures and is of great significance for studying the welding performance of aluminum alloys. However, it is important to note that picric acid has a certain degree of toxicity, and caution must be exercised during operation.

[0015] As a further improvement to the above-described scheme of the present invention, the concentration of the NaOH solution is 5%~10%; And / or, in the mixture of hydrochloric acid, nitric acid and deionized water, the volume ratio of hydrochloric acid, nitric acid and deionized water is 2:1~3:2~3; And / or, in the mixture of picric acid, hydrochloric acid, ethanol and deionized water, the mass-to-volume ratio of picric acid, hydrochloric acid, ethanol and deionized water is 1g:3~5mL:45~50mL:45~50mL.

[0016] After the electrode weld bead samples and aluminum shell weld bead samples have been soaked in chemical reagents, they need to be cleaned with deionized water or alcohol and dried to avoid reagent residue affecting subsequent observation.

[0017] As a further improvement to the above-mentioned solution of the present invention, the electropolishing is performed using a mixture of perchloric acid and anhydrous ethanol as the electropolishing solution and an electropolishing machine.

[0018] As a further improvement to the above-mentioned solution of the present invention, liquid nitrogen or dry ice is added to the electrolytic polishing solution to control the temperature of the electrolytic polishing solution to -10~-20℃.

[0019] As a further improvement to the above-mentioned solution of the present invention, the mass percentage of perchloric acid in the electrolytic polishing solution is 10%~15%.

[0020] As a further improvement to the above-mentioned solution of the present invention, for the aluminum electrode post and aluminum shell, the parameters for electrolytic polishing are: voltage of 15~20V, and current density maintained at 0.5A / cm². 2 Optimal polishing time is 30-60 seconds, and the area of ​​the weld bead section exposed in the electrolytic polishing solution is 0.5-1 cm². 2 For copper electrodes, the electropolishing parameters are: voltage of 15~20V, and current density maintained at 0.5A / cm². 2 Optimal polishing time is 60-180 seconds, and the area of ​​the weld bead section exposed in the electrolytic polishing solution is 0.5-1 cm². 2 After polishing, remove the electrode weld sample and the aluminum shell weld sample, rinse them with cold water, and then dry them in a drying oven.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention uses chemical reagents to corrode or electropolish the weld bead's ground surface, removing oxide layers and impurities from the metal surface, improving surface smoothness, increasing the brightness and reflectivity of the metal surface, clearly displaying the weld bead's microstructure, facilitating the analysis of parameters such as weld penetration and weld width, and evaluating welding quality, thereby improving the accuracy of weld penetration and weld width measurement and calibration.
