Energy storage power supply housing aluminum material manufacturer

Why are battery housings made of aluminium used in e-mobility?

Battery housings made of aluminium are not only used in e-mobility, however, but also in stationary applications such as the energy storage systems of solar or wind power plants. Here, they effectively protect the battery thanks to their strength properties and high corrosion resistance, even under the most difficult weather conditions.

Is aluminium a good material for battery housings?

At Speira, we have been dedicated to the development of aluminium as a primary material for battery housings for many years and, in addition to the market standard 3003, we have also designed our own 3xxx variant for prismatic cell housings, which allows for a very high proportion of recycled aluminium.

Why is aluminium used in e-mobility?

In addition to protection against mechanical damage and environmental influences, aluminium also provides effective heat dissipation and therefore improves battery life. Battery housings made of aluminium are not only used in e-mobility, however, but also in stationary applications such as the energy storage systems of solar or wind power plants.

What alloys are used for cell housings?

Typical alloys for the lid components include 1050, 1060, 1070 and 3003. At Speira, we have long recognised that aluminium is the ideal material for the seamless production of cell housings. This is why we began specialising in the production of the primary material at an early stage and developing special alloys outside the market standard.

Why is aluminium important in the transport sector?

As a material, aluminium therefore has precisely the right properties to meet the special requirements of efficient battery operation and modern mobility, which is why aluminium has become indispensable in the transport sector.
