Aluminum plate energy storage welding

How to weld a liquid cold plate?

The recommended welding technique for a liquid cold plate is Friction Stir Welding (FSW). Welding by FSW has several advantages, such as being easier to use than EBW or vacuum brazing.

How to welding aluminium cold plate?

There are several methods for welding aluminium cold plate: vacuum brazing, electron beam welding, or friction stir welding. To determine the best process for welding liquid cold plates, consider the operating cost, investment cost, cost of the cover, and the cost of quality control.

What is welding a cooling plate?

Welding is a critical process in the manufacturing of cooling plates, as it ensures the structural integrity and durability of the final product. Several welding techniques are commonly used in cooling plate production:

Is aluminium a suitable material for welding?

While aluminium has good properties for welding such as low density, good corrosion resistance, and high thermal and electrical conductivity, welding aluminium can be more complicated. Due to its high thermal conductivity, high welding energies are required.

What welding techniques are used in cooling plate production?

Several welding techniques are commonly used in cooling plate production: A vacuum brazed liquid cooling plate refers to a type of water-cooled plate that is fabricated by processing two metal plates with internal channels and fin structures (typically folded or scraped fins) and then carefully sealing them within a vacuum chamber for heating.

Why are aluminum cooling plates extruded?

Extruded materials are often used in the production of channels or fins within the cooling plate. Aluminum offered a good balance between performance and cost. The extrusion process enabled the production of channels that optimized fluid dynamics, reducing the overall size and weight of the cooling plates.
