TLDR
In this paper, a set of tabs associated with an electrode plate are aligned and either resistance spot welding or ultrasonic welding is used to hold the tabs together, and a laser penetration weld is created through the set of electrodes by a single pulse laser weld or multiple-pulse laser weld.Abstract:
Laser penetration of tabs from electrode plates is presented. A set of tabs associated with a set of electrode plates are aligned. Either resistance spot welding or ultrasonic welding is used to hold tabs together. A laser penetration weld is created through the set of tabs by a single pulse laser weld or multiple-pulse laser weld. The set of tabs is greater than two tabs.read more
