FUEL CELL ASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR BONDING A SEPARATOR AND ANELECTROLYTE LAYER OF A FUEL CELL ASSEMBLY

摘要

In a fuel cell assembly (1) comprising an electrolyte layer (2) having a fra me (21) and an electrolyte (22) retained in the frame, a pair of separators (5, 6) are bonded to the electrolyte layer by that a metallic material (27) is deposited on one of the frame and each separator and a laser beam is irradiated onto the metallic material through the frame or the separator in a state that the frame and each separator contact each other whereby the metallic material forms a eutectic with the other of the frame and each separator.
