Copper Aluminum Dovetail Clad

Copper Aluminum Dovetail Clad

Copper Aluminum Dovetail Clad

Based on our 40+ years of cladding expertise, Materion Technical Materials has created an innovative technology for joining aluminum and copper as a side-by-side bonded strip.   This new metallurgical process, Copper Aluminum Dovetail Clad, uses extreme reductions in cross-sectional area and controlled thermal diffusion to create a robust joint.    This results in an interface that provides unmatched electrical and mechanical performance and can easily be stamped and formed to create busbars, tabs, and connectors for joining copper and aluminum.  Copper Aluminum Dovetail Clad enables high-volume, low-cost laser assembly which is especially fitted to automotive format lithium ion battery packs.
