The Battery Market
Materion Corporation thrives on meeting our customers’ most demanding battery requirements with the development of custom-engineered metal solutions.
The Materion Corporation Solution
We offer the widest range of technologies, alloys and composite systems for demanding, high-performance battery applications. Our composite materials, which include combinations of copper, aluminum, nickel plate and stainless steel, are featured in battery pack laser weld and ultrasonic weld connections.
Characterized by inlay and overlay thickness ratios of 50 percent, these materials are designed to maximize battery connection performance by offering increased bulk conductivity, robust weldability, high-power carrying capacity and corrosion resistance. Our products also help reduce weight and total cost.
Makers of lithium ion batteries turn to us for our highly conductive composite system materials critical to the service life and reliability of the latest-generation plug-in electric and hybrid vehicles. Lithium Ion battery cells and packs require new solutions to fundamental metallurgical challenges. Materion Technical Materials has been a leader in developing new families of products to enable this rapidly growing market.

Why Materion Corporation?
We provide materials solutions that cannot be met with individual materials. For example, Materion Corporation manufactures high-performance resistance weld attachments featuring our proprietary Ni-TRUEclad 36 composite material. The design is composed of a copper core, which provides twice the electrical conductivity of nickel, with stainless steel layers to provide robust strength and laser weld performance, and a nickel outer surface layer that give the composite overall corrosion protection.
Customers using our Ni-TRUEclad 36 have seen the following advantages:
- Higher power carrying capacity
- Five percent weight savings per part at the same gauge
- Higher thermal conductivity, which allows the material thickness to be reduced by up to 30 percent
