A fuel cell gas separator member ( 10 ) comprises a layer ( 22 ) of copper or copper-based alloy having a layer ( 29 ) of oxidation-resistant material such as Al<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3 </SUB>on the cathode side ( 30 ). A protective layer ( 31 ) may also be provided on the anode-side ( 26 ) of the copper or copper-based alloy layer. The copper-based alloy may be aluminium bronze in which case the oxidation-resistant layer may form automatically. Alternatively, the copper or copper-based alloy layer ( 22 ) may be wrapped in a foil ( 29, 31 ) of heat resistant steel. Other possibilities are disclosed. |
