EV Battery Module Adhesives: Everything You Need to Know
In EV battery manufacturing, adhesives are increasingly used to bond components. They are replacing mechanical fasteners as well various joining technologies. Unlike screws, bolts, and welding, structural adhesives provide a range of benefits beyond the bond.
Laser Surface Treatment of Metals
The surface treatment of metals is the process of modifying a metal surface to alter its properties. Examples of surface treatments include electroplating, anodizing, phosphate conversion coating, galvanizing, thermal spray coating, laser cleaning, and laser texturing. These treatments are used to improve surface properties like corrosion resistance, adhesion, conductivity, and wear resistance
All You Need to Know About Battery Thermal Management
Battery thermal management is essential in electric vehicles and energy storage systems to regulate the temperature of batteries. It uses cooling and heating systems to maintain temperature within an optimal range, minimize cell-to-cell temperature variations, enable supercharging, prevent malfunctions and thermal runaways, and maximize the battery’s life.
What is Surface Finishing: Processes & Surface Finish Examples
Surface finishing is the process of modifying a surface to improve specific properties, such as corrosion resistance, durability, adhesion, or appearance. The term encompasses a wide variety of processes, including deburring, coating, polishing, and texturing.
Disadvantages of Dry Ice Blasting: Is It Worth It?
While dry ice blasting is praised for its advantages, it also comes with several disadvantages. In this article, we’ll go over the different aspects of dry ice blasting to better understand when it’s worth it, and which alternatives to consider.
Understanding Laser Powers
Laser power is one of the most important parameters to consider when choosing a laser, as it plays a key role in determining the effectiveness of laser processes. In laser material processing, laser power directly impacts the speed of processes like laser welding, laser cleaning, laser texturing, laser cutting, and laser marking.
Superior Metal Bonding with Laser Surface Preparation
Grit blasting and chemical etching are typically used to prepare metals for bonding. However, lasers offer a new, alternative approach that leads to superior bonding quality, increased efficiency, and lower operational costs
How to Choose the Best Fiber Laser Engraver
Fiber lasers are ideal to engrave metal materials. If you don’t have the right information, choosing the right one will be challenging. But if you are willing to learn just the basics of fiber laser engraving, you can quickly identify the best laser engraver for your application.
What is Surface Preparation: Steps & Examples
Whether you are coating, bonding, welding, or assembling metal parts, surface preparation is essential to ensure the high quality of your product. Failure to do proper surface preparation can lead to quality issues.
