Researchers from Peter the Great St.Petersburg Polytechnic University (SPbPU) invented a durable and compact radiator for lithium-ion batteries, which in the future can be used for electric vehicles. The radiator was developed using friction stir welding technology. The development of the electric transport industry stimulates the search for new solutions in the field of rechargeable batteries with special requirements for energy consumption, weight, dimensions, and safety. These requirements are increasing every year. Its fulfillment can be achieved only by the introduction of new manufacturing technologies. For example, not the most noticeable, but an important part of such a battery is the cooling system. Thus this radiator should be compact, lightweight, and at the same time durable. To create such radiator, we used aluminum alloys and also applied friction stir welding technology says Fedor Isupov, engin
