Annealing ovens help boost battery performance and longevity, making them indispensable in industries like aerospace, transportation, automotive, electronics, metals, and healthcare. These ovens are well-suited for processes involving metals, plastics, and glass, improving quality, workability, cost-efficiency, strength, and durability. For manufacturers aiming to produce top-quality lithium-ion batteries, annealing ovens are essential.

Annealing ovens help alter a material’s physical properties by heating it to a specific temperature and cooling it at a controlled rate. This process can soften metals hardened by cold working processes like rolling or drawing, improve metal ductility, and relieve internal stresses in cast, welded, or machined materials, preventing brittleness. For lithium-ion batteries, annealing ovens enhance electrical conductivity within the electrode material, ensuring a smooth flow of lithium ions between the anode and cathode, boosting output and charging speed.

Annealing ovens also help increase battery longevity and improve battery safety. The oven’s precise temperature control ensures consistent and accurate heat treatment for each electrode type. The Despatch LBB forced convection oven, for example, offers temperatures up to 204°C (400°F) which is ideal for this annealing process. Learn More
