Air-Coupled Ultrasound Sealing Integrity Inspection Using Leaky Lamb Waves in a Simplified Model of a Lithium-Ion Pouch Battery: Feasibility Study
Inspecting the sealing integrity of lead tabs is an important means of ensuring the reliability and safety of pouch-type lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries with a thin multi-layered aluminum (Al) laminated film. This paper presents a new air-coupled ultrasonic non-destructive testing (NDT) inspection me...

description | Inspecting the sealing integrity of lead tabs is an important means of ensuring the reliability and safety of pouch-type lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries with a thin multi-layered aluminum (Al) laminated film. This paper presents a new air-coupled ultrasonic non-destructive testing (NDT) inspection method based on leaky Lamb wave transmission; and reception for evaluating the sealing integrity between the lead tab and the Al pouch film. The proposed method uses the critical incidence angle between the air and the layer with the fastest Lamb wave velocity to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio in the through-transmission mode. To determine the critical incidence angle, phantom experiments with two test pieces (i.e., an Al tab and an Al tab sealed with an Al pouch film) are conducted. In addition, 2D scans are performed at various incidence angles for an inhouse pouch-type Li-ion battery with a 1-mm-wide foreign material inserted as a defect. At the critical incidence angle (i.e., 22°), the proposed air-coupled ultrasonic NDT method in through-transmission mode successfully identifies the shape and location of the defect through c-scan image reconstruction. These preliminary results indicate that the proposed air-coupled ultrasonic NDT method with leaky Lamb waves can be used to inspect the sealing integrity of Li-ion pouch batteries in dry test conditions. |
