The application of stainless steel hardware in the lithium battery industry primarily focuses on ensuring the safety and stability of production, storage, and equipment operation, specifically in the following areas:

Precision connections and corrosion resistance requirements for production equipment: Production processes such as lithium battery electrode manufacturing and cell packaging involve the transfer of electrolyte (containing corrosive substances such as lithium salts and organic solvents) and the operation of mixing equipment. Stainless steel fittings, valves, flanges, and other accessories are used to connect pipelines, reactors, and mixing devices. The corrosion resistance of materials such as 304 and 316 protects against electrolyte corrosion while ensuring tight connections and preventing leakage that could contaminate the production environment or affect product quality. Furthermore, in the structural assembly of precision coating machines and roller presses, stainless steel screws and bushings provide stable mechanical support, withstand vibrations during high-speed operation, and ensure production precision.

Safety protection for energy storage and transportation systems: Lithium battery energy storage equipment and transportation must cope with high and low temperature fluctuations and potential electrolyte leakage. Stainless steel pipe fittings and connectors are used to connect cooling lines within energy storage battery packs. Their high- and low-temperature resistance allows them to adapt to the circulation environment of cooling media (such as water and antifreeze), while their excellent sealing properties prevent leakage that could affect the battery's heat dissipation efficiency. In the fixed structure of lithium battery transport packaging, stainless steel clips and connectors withstand shock and vibration during transportation and are less susceptible to rusting in humid environments, ensuring the stability of the battery packaging.

Conductivity and structural support for battery modules and equipment: Some stainless steel hardware (such as specific types of stainless steel terminals and connectors) undergo conductive treatment and can be used to connect electrodes within lithium battery modules. While providing a certain degree of conductivity, the high strength of stainless steel ensures mechanical stability of the electrode connections, preventing contact failure caused by vibration and shock. Furthermore, Stainless steel valves are used to control the flow of test media in lithium battery testing equipment and charging and discharging equipment. Their wear resistance and easy cleaning properties allow them to withstand frequent operation and extend the life of the equipment.
