ALUMINUM-PLATED STEEL SHEET FOR HOT STAMPING
An aluminum-plated steel sheet for hot stamping, including: a base steel sheet; an aluminum-plated layer provided on at least one surface of the base steel sheet; and a surface treatment film provided on the aluminum-plated layer, in which the surface treatment film contains needle-like compounds X, the needle-like compounds X contain 70% or more in number % of needle-like compounds X1 in which proportion of a major axis to a minor axis of the compound X1 is 4 or more and 50 or less and the compounds X1 have a hexagonal crystal structure, and the compounds X1 contain 70% or more in number % of a needle-like compounds X2 having a smaller angle of 0 degrees or more and 40 degrees or less among angles at an intersection point of a straight line parallel to the major axis and a straight line parallel to an aluminum-plated layer surface.
Pouch Type Battery Case and Apparatus for Forming the Same
A pouch type battery case has a pair of cases in which at least one of the pair of cases includes: a cup part, a terrace, and a protrusion. The cup part is recessed; a and the terrace is disposed on a circumference of the cup part and has a sealing part. The protrusion protrudes from the terrace in a direction opposite to a depth direction of the cup part and at least a portion of the sealing part is provided on the protrusion. An apparatus for manufacturing the pouch type battery case is also provided.
Pouch-shaped battery case shaping apparatus including volatile lubricant supply unit and method using the same
A pouch-shaped battery case shaping apparatus includes a die having an open recess sized to correspond to an electrode assembly, a punch configured to draw a sheet into the open recess and thereby shape the sheet, a holder configured to fix ends of the sheet to the die during drawing of the sheet, and a lubricant supply unit configured to supply a lubricant to the sheet to minimize surface damage to the sheet due to the drawing of the sheet. A pouch-shaped battery case manufacturing process uses the pouch-shaped battery case shaping apparatus to shape the sheet.
