This spring must be operated within the specified force range (5–30 N) to prevent plastic deformation and ensure consistent contact pressure. Material selection (304 or 316L) must be based on electrolyte corrosivity and operating temperature to avoid corrosion-induced failure.
- Force Constraint: Apply only within the 5–30 N spring force range to maintain electrochemical contact without permanent set.
- Fatigue Limit: Replace the spring after 10,000 cycles to ensure force stability and avoid mechanical failure.
- Material Compatibility: Select 304 stainless steel for general corrosion resistance or 316L for sulfide/chloride-containing electrolytes and high-temperature environments.
- Cleanliness Requirement: Use the spring directly in a glovebox without additional cleaning as it is supplied oil-free and impurity-free.
- Dimensional Fit: Ensure the spring's 15.4 mm diameter and 1.1 mm free height match the CR2032 pocket dimensions to prevent misalignment.
What are the key differences between the 304 stainless steel and 316L stainless steel wave spring options, and how do they affect corrosion resistance in battery testing?
The 316L stainless steel variant is specifically designed for sulfide/chloride ion corrosion resistance and high-temperature environments, while the 304 stainless steel offers general corrosion resistance for routine testing. Both comply with ASTM A240 and share identical spring force (5–30 N) and fatigue life (≥10,000 cycles) specifications. The choice depends on the corrosivity of the electrolyte system; for example, sulfide solid-state batteries or high-voltage systems (>4.5 V) benefit from 316L, whereas conventional Li-ion/Na-ion batteries can use 304.
Are these wave springs compatible with CR2032 coin cells, and can they be used with thin electrodes or low-loading battery configurations?
Yes, these wave springs are specifically designed for CR2032 and all CR20 series internal dimensions, with a diameter of 15.4 mm and free height of 1.1 mm. Their spring force range of 5–30 N, large contact area, and small footprint make them ideal for routine testing, thin electrodes, and low-loading batteries, ensuring stable internal pressure without damaging delicate electrodes.
Do these wave springs require any pre-cleaning or preparation before use in a glovebox for battery assembly?
No, the wave springs are shipped fully prepared: 100% dimensional inspected, spring force calibrated, and surface quality verified to be oil-free, burr-free, and impurity-free. They can be used directly for battery assembly inside gloveboxes without additional cleaning, reducing preparation time and contamination risk.
This 15.4 mm wave spring (Belleville) provides a spring force of 5–30 N with a fatigue life exceeding 10,000 cycles, offered in 304 or 316L stainless steel for corrosion resistance matching the electrolyte system. The fixed default dimensions require custom ordering for alternative sizes or coated variants.
Positive
- Dual material options for corrosion resistance: Available in 304 stainless steel for general corrosion resistance and 316L for enhanced resistance to sulfide/chloride ions and higher temperatures, allowing matching to specific electrolyte chemistries.
- Consistent spring force and high fatigue life: Spring force range of 5–30 N with fatigue life ≥10,000 cycles ensures stable internal cell pressure over extended testing, supported by 100% spring force calibration.
Trade-offs
- Default size only; customization required for other dimensions: The wave spring is offered as default in 15.4 mm diameter and 1.1 mm free height; other sizes, materials, or coatings require custom order via email, potentially extending lead times.
- Uncoated stainless steel contact surfaces: The standard spring is uncoated 304 or 316L stainless steel; for applications demanding ultra-low contact resistance (e.g., EIS, micro-current), coated variants (gold, aluminum) are available as separate products but not in this SKU.
