VALUABLE SUPPLY CHAIN PARTNER

Integrated Solutions for High Performance PEM Fuel Cell Components

Our collaboration focuses on the synergy between PEI's precision photochemical etching of titanium bipolar plates and Optiforms' advanced platinum plating techniques. This partnership aims to deliver components that meet the demanding requirements of modern fuel cell applications.

PEI Experts in Photochemical Etching of Titanium Bipolar Plates

Bipolar plates, in particular, play a crucial role in conducting electricity, managing heat, and facilitating gas flow.

PEI specializes in photochemical etching, a process that allows for the creation of intricate and precise flow field designs on titanium plates. This technique offers several advantages:

  • High Precision: Achieves complex geometries with tight tolerances.

  • Material Integrity: Maintains the mechanical properties of titanium without inducing stress or deformation.
  • Design Flexibility: Easily accommodates design changes without the need for expensive tooling modifications.

Photochemically etched titanium bipolar plates ideal for applications requiring high conductivity and corrosion resistance.

Optiforms' Advanced Platinum Plating for Enhanced Durability

Optiforms brings to the table its advanced platinum plating technology, which significantly enhances the corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity of titanium bipolar plates.

Key benefits include:

  • Superior Corrosion Resistance: Platinum coatings protect titanium substrates from aggressive fuel cell environments.
  • Enhanced Electrical Conductivity: Reduces contact resistance, improving overall fuel cell efficiency.

  • Uniform Coating: Ensures consistent performance across the entire surface of the bipolar plate.

By applying a uniform platinum layer, Optiforms ensures the longevity and reliability of the bipolar plates in PEM fuel cells.
