Battery Systems
We understand that energy efficiency and safety are key factors in today’s market. Our high quality Clad Materials are the preferred choice because of their unique multi-layer properties, especially as performance demands increase for higher energy, smaller cells for hearing aids and other electronic devices. We can help you choose the best clad metals for many of your applications, such as Automotive Hybrid Electronics, Power Conversion and Energy Storage.
Li-Ion Cell Connectors
SIGMAclad is a 5-Layer clad material composed of Ni/SS/Cu/SS/Ni created specifically for busbars in Li-Ion Battery Packs. It is designed with superior properties compared to other materials used in these applications like Nickel or Nickel Plated Steel . The Copper layer provides enhanced electrical and thermal conductivity for heat dissipation. The Stainless Steel layers facilitate resistance welding and increases weld strength. The exterior layers of Nickel allow for easy soldering and provide enhanced corrosion resistance. All of these features are provided at a cost that can be lower than pure Nickel and competitive with Nickel Plated Steel.

Zinc Air Button Cell Batteries
An important application for clad materials is in the button cell battery industry for use as both the anode lid and cathode cup. In each case, clad is the preferred choice because of its unique multi-layer properties especially as performance demands increase for higher energy, smaller cells for hearing aids and other electronic devices.
Tri-clad Cu/S304/Ni functions as the anode current collector with its corrosion resistant nickel exterior, strong stainless core and pure copper interior for cell chemistry compatibility with mercury free applications.

Silver Oxide Button Cell Batteries
An important application for clad materials is in the button cell battery industry for use as both the anode lid and cathode cup. In each case, clad is the preferred choice because of its unique multi-layer properties especially as performance demands increase for higher energy, smaller cells for hearing aids and other electronic devices.
For the cell cup or cathode, Ni/S430/Ni excels over plated options because of the durability of the clad nickel layer compared to more porous plated solutions. This is especially important to prevent corrosion in hearing aide applications.
