Aluminium Electric Control Box are Produced by FSW Process

The aluminium electric control box is one of the important components of electric vehicles, responsible for distributing the electrical energy from the battery pack to various electrical modules and cooling the electrical components.


AEE has successfully achieved high-quality and efficient mass production of electric control boxes for customers by adopting friction stir welding technology. Compared to traditional welding methods such as arc welding or brazing, friction stir welding can effectively avoid defects that commonly occur during the welding of cast aluminum and aluminum alloys. 


The joints obtained through this method exhibit higher mechanical properties and minimal welding deformation. Friction stir welding is highly automated, with lower welding costs, and is easy to implement for mass production.
