It is no longer necessary to sacrifice a high performance flow field design to meet manufacturing limitations. Cell Impact can produce plates thinner with a finer pattern at a lower cost compared to methods like machining or molding.
Compared to bipolar plates produced by other methods, plates produced by Cell Impact have the following potential advantages:
Fine patterns with close tolerances
The pattern in the plate surface is an exact match to the pattern in the forming tool. The impact process ensures that there are no spring back or bulging effects from the forming.
Wide range of material selection
Cell Impact offers flow plates in almost any material, including stainless steel, graphite and titanium.
High production rate
The impact process is fast -a flow field is formed in a fraction of a second. With fully automated material handling, a production rate of 1 plate per second per machine is achieved. |
