Manufacturing Methods and Technology For Hermetically Sealed Lithium SO2 Cell Batteries.
Abstract
Effort has continued on the Manufacturing Methods and Technology Program to establish and evaluate the fabrication techniques and automation processes required to attain hardware production levels as specified in the subject contract. Fabrication and testing of hermetic cell prototypes under thr required thermal discharge profiles has continued to demonstrate the feasibility of each cell design and to define cell performance and safety characteristics. Complete drawing packages, specifications and detailed bill of material are presently being developed to define the dimensional characteristics of each cell/battery and insure proper configuration control. Hermetic sealing of the cell preiphery has been successfully implemented on all required cell sizes (.550 inch to 1.500 inch diameter) using an arc welding process with no thermal damage to adjacent components. Incorporation of an additional arc welding station will permit attainment of the required production rate goal of 5000 units per day.
