Aluminum battery enclosures typically deliver a weight savings of 40% compared to an equivalent steel design. According to Asfeth, the alloys best suited for battery enclosures are the 6000-series Al-Si-Mg-Cu family — alloys that are also highly compatible with end-of-life recycling, he said.
The larger the battery, the more aluminum makes sense for battery packs,” Asfeth asserted. Bucking that trend is GM's 9000-lb. (4082-kg) Hummer EV, which uses a multi-material battery enclosure. Tesla also has reduced the amount of aluminum in the battery enclosure for the Model 3 and Model Y compared to what was used in its S and X models.
But in larger, long-range vehicles, “the battery represents the value of the vehicle. The larger the battery, the more aluminum makes sense for battery packs,” Asfeth asserted. Bucking that trend is GM's 9000-lb. (4082-kg) Hummer EV, which uses a multi-material battery enclosure.
Potential applications include battery-pack bottom plates where impact resistance is key. However, the new alloy requires special manufacturing processes the added cost of which might offset the 10% weight savings benefit. Such are the tradeoffs in battery-box and EV development.
(Novelis) EV battery enclosures are a hotbed of subsystem design, materials innovation, and vehicle integration. Whether you call them packs, boxes, or trays, the structures that envelop and protect EV battery cells and their supporting electrical and thermal-management hardware are among the industry's top subsystem priorities.
