These materials are part of common lithium-ion battery cells in the form of foils. The electrical connection of such cells to battery systems requires the joining of dissimilar aluminum and copper. The main function is the lossfreeconduction of the electrical current during the whole lifetime of the product. Due to its good automation capability and short process times, laserbeam welding is a suitable process for the series production of battery systems. The challenge in the melt-based joining of aluminum and copper is the formation of brittle and hard intermetallic phases. As a starting point for cracks, these phases can damage the joint in the long term. Operating influences such as vibrations, thermal or electrical stress additionally shorten the lifetime. Industrial applications therefore require precise knowledge of the quality of thewelded joint and its long-term stability.Due to the functional requirement, the contact resistance of the joint is asuitable quantitative measure of weld seam quality. In addition to thefundamentals of measuring electrical resistances of welded joints, this work simulates the current flow through the joint in order to optimize the design and weld seam positioning. In the experimental validation, the influence of a spatialpower modulation on electrical and mechanical properties is investigated. In this process, the feed motion of the laser beam is superimposed with a circular oscillation. As a result, the bond width of the welds is increased and non uniformities in the seam cross-section of the lap joint due to the different melting point and thermal conductivity can be compensated. The intermixing of the two materials is visualized by in-situ transmission experiments with synchrotron radiation. For the analysis of the long-term stability, the welded joints are dynamically, electrically and thermally loaded to simulate the operating influences. In addition to the development of a long-term stablewelding process of aluminum and copper, this work investigates methods forin-process monitoring of the welding penetration depth by using optical coherence tomography and spectrometry. By combining a function-oriented process development with suitable monitoring, this work supports the industrial application of laser beam welding of aluminum-copper joints.}, cin = {418710}, ddc = {620}, cid = {$I:(DE-82)418710_20140620$}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)11 / PUB:(DE-HGF)3}, doi = {10.18154/RWTH-2023-10190}, url = {https://publications.rwth-aachen.de/record/972480}, }
