Method of welding battery cell connections involves applying force to spot weld electrodes to rigidify weld area

摘要

The method of welding two components using resistance spot welding involves locally melting the components using electrodes attached to them. The electrodes exert a pressure force (F) corresponding to the welding current (I) to rigidify the joint material. The components can be pressed together by the electrodes prior to welding. Claims include a machine for carrying out the process.
