E-mobility is still one of the most discussed topics within the
automotive industry. Electric powered vehicles can drive emissionfree and
present consequently the future propulsion. Nearly all global players in
the automotive industry are making great efforts to develop cost-efficient
electric drives, which are suitable for series production. The national
governments support this evolution progressively. For example the mobility
research programme of the Federal Republic of Germany looks at the
production of Li- Ion cells in its entirety. Within this programme the
cutting of electrodes for Li-Ion cells by lasers is an issue, too. This
paper provides a comparative study on cutting materials relevant for Li-Ion
cells with beam sources operating in a cw mode and a pulsed mode
respectively.
