Our first battery enclosure was produced in Europe in 2011 for a hybrid electric vehicle. Magna provides a comprehensive range of battery enclosure production and engineering solutions, available in steel,
stainless steel battery casings have rapidly gained popularity in the renewable energy sector, becoming the preferred new choice for the lithium-ion encapsulation of batteries.Stainless
This means that battery module manufacturers need materials that combine heat resistance, sustainability, processability and high strength with the flexibility to
Stainless steels with an austenitic structure are particularly well suited for battery housings because, in addition to chromium, they have a further main alloying element, a so-called
A battery housing consists of the actual stainless steel housing, which creates the structural load capacity between the components, batteries and control components in the interior.
The selectrify ® battery housing is a newly developed steel design offering excellent performance. It consists of an enclosure with a frame, connection profile, upper and lower support arms, underride
Outokumpu automotive experts has compiled a guide for automotive and battery system designers keen to explore the possibilities of using high performance stainless steels for EV battery casings.
Purem by Eberspächer develops sustainable battery housings made of high-strength steel for electric and hybrid vehicles. The underbody solutions combine corrosion protection, crash safety and
Everyone wants a safe, durable, high quality and secure battery enclosure. However, finding the right information about these battery boxes or cabinet is always a challenge. A reason this
A geometrically simple battery housing can be designed using stainless steels as a deep-drawn shell. The advantage of this approach lies in its sealing and less elaborate manufacture compared to the

The battery housing is the central safety component that must meet the highest standards in terms of sealing, electrical conductivity, mechanical strength, and much more.
The Battery Housing is a key item within our extensive Mobile Phone Housing selection.Mobile phone housings are typically made from materials like plastic, metal, and silicone. These materials help
A calculation of the material and manufacturing costs for both battery housings based on the assumed manufacturing volume of 100,000 units per year shows that the steel housing is
Thanks to its versatility, corrosion resistance without post-treatment, thermal insulation and excellent fire resistance, stainless steel is the material of choice for battery housings.
Aluminum and low-alloy steels are the traditional choice for battery housings. But these materials can be restrictive in terms of both design and manufacturing flexibility and have limited safety potential. Stainless steels and their associated construction and manufacturing concepts can help address these challenges.
The combination of high strength and enormous ductility gives austenitic stainless steels outstanding deep-drawing properties. These facilitate complex forms and contribute directly to component stiffness. To see how this is applied to battery housings it is useful to look at some possible design scenarios.
Stainless steel can save weight and improve the crash resistance of EV battery housings. Crucially, it also provides the heat resistance essential to ensure passenger safety in the event of a fire. The general requirement is to contain a fire for a period of up to 10 minutes to enable the safe evacuation of vehicle occupants.
Stainless steel concept for an EV battery compartment. Li-ion modules for EVs generate a significant amount of heat inside the sealed battery housing. In the event of damage, the liquid coolant must not come into direct contact with the modules.
From solar farms to distributed generation, Solar Pro delivers robust, weather-proof enclosures and energy storage cabinets engineered for the future of photovoltaics.
