Aluminum Alloys for Lithium-Ion Battery Housing Cases
For large lithium-ion battery housing cases
UACJ supplies high-strength aluminum alloys that help to realize thinner lithium-ion battery housing cases. They have been praised for the resulting cost reductions, and have a solid track record in the consumer goods sector. They are also ideal for use with large in-vehicle lithium-ion battery housings.
