LASER WELDING OF CONDUCTIVE COATED METALLIC BIPOLAR PLATES
摘要
The present invention discloses a method of efficiently manufacturing fuel cells having coated bipolar plates. The present invention contemplates the laser welding together of individual plates already having a coating thereon to form the bipolar plates that are used in a fuel cell. The laser welding of the coated plates together does not result in sensitization of the plates to a magnitude sufficient to cause an undesirable level of corrosion resistance. This result is achieved regardless of the presence of the organic coating in the region of the plates being welded and regardless of the ablating of the organic coating by the laser beam.
