Discussed is a battery module, including at least one battery cell, a pair of pressing plates respectively disposed at opposite side surfaces of the at least one battery cell, and a module cover coupled to the pair of pressing plates to cover an upper side or a lower side of the at least one battery cell, wherein opposite ends of the module cover overlap an upper end or a lower end of the pair of pressing plates, and have a plurality of welding portions and a plurality of auxiliary welding beads alternately arranged along a longitudinal direction of the module cover, and wherein the opposite ends of the module cover are welded to the pair of pressing plates at the plurality of welding portions.

Systems and methods are provided for braiding Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) tape. One method includes drawing multiple lanes of MMC tape, comprising a matrix of metal reinforced by fibers, from bobbins arranged around a mandrel. The method also includes braiding the multiple lanes to form a preform at the mandrel for an MMC part and consolidating the preform via application of heat and pressure.

A method of fitting a fastener to an object is introduced. The fastener has a weldable surface and an engaging portion or a hole portion. One end of the hole portion or one end of the engaging portion has a holding portion. During a welding heating process, solder flows into or enters the holding portion and then cools down and solidifies therein so as to be held therein. Therefore, the weldable surface and the holding portion together enable the fastener to be firmly coupled to an object. The engaging portion and the hole portion together enable an object to be coupled to or removed from another object, so as to couple together and separate at least two objects repeatedly and quickly.

A method for repairing an at least externally coated hollow component. The direct mechanical machining of a coated component after use removes the need for a coating-removal and selective hollowing step and a selective repair of cracks, since a design adaptation leads to a component being engineered or used such that it can be used again as a result of external dimensional stipulations.
