Abstract:
Aluminum foam sandwich (AFS) offers distinct mechanical properties including good fire protection and the capability to absorb energy in the event of a collision. This makes AFS a promising candidate for battery housings in electric vehicles (EV). It eliminates the decisive disadvantage of short EV range by keeping the weight low while improving safety. By comparing material requirements with the properties of AFS, this paper assesses the potential and the advantages of AFS utilization for battery housing. To prove practical ability a battery housing was constructed.
