Aluminum Sheet Battery Enclosure

The market for an ever-increasing array of consumer electronics parts is made possible by continuing innovation in integrated circuitry, new software applications and the exceptional properties of industrial aluminum, such as its light weight, high formability, superior heat dissipation, electrical conductivity, high corrosion resistance and attractive surface properties. Whether it is smartphones, tablets, laptops or flat screen TVs, aluminum is an integral component in the design, development and production of the latest personal devices and in-home entertainment systems. Novelis is leading the way in producing customized, premium flat-rolled aluminum for many consumer electronics parts and products, including aluminum enclosures and aluminum cases. Our aluminum products, developed according to customer specifications, are supplied in coil or sheet form, then slit or cut to length by third-party distributors or customers themselves.

In the aerospace industry we specialize in the production of rolled aluminum plate and sheet materials for fuselage and wing structure components according to standard or customized specifications. The aerospace industry is building new aircraft to accommodate a growing number of air passengers and to replace older, less efficient planes with newer, more fuel-efficient models. Aluminum offers a high strength-to-weight ratio, energy efficiency, and high tolerance to extreme temperatures- making it an ideal material for the manufacturing of aircraft. It can also be recycled repeatedly, making it a good choice as manufacturers pursue sustainability initiatives. We have introduced new low-density alloys that represent an innovative step forward for aluminum in aerospace. Weight-savings from these new alloys translate into fuel efficiency and lower operating costs for the airline industry.

Sunlight can also be channeled and focused to heat water, which can drive steam turbines in large-scale power plants. This Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) was once dominated by glass mirrors due to their unmatched reflectivity. Recent advances in aluminum reflectivity and brightness, partially due to our processing innovations, however, have made the material an effective substitute. Compared to glass, aluminum solar panels offer significantly lighter weight and better ratio performance versus cost.

Photovoltaic (PV) Solar Power converts light from the sun directly into electricity via the photoelectric effect. Aluminum makes an ideal substrate material to support the thin film of photovoltaic solar cells, as well as a safe, attractive housing for the absorber. Its lightweight nature makes the units easy to move, and its resistance to corrosion extends the lifespan of the units. Sheet-rolled, bonded industrial aluminum can also make an effective support for PV units.
