Hydrogen FCEV Bipolar Plates Coating

Application

Hydrogen FCEV Industry Development

Nowadays it’s more important than ever for manufacturers to develop and find best coating solutions to achieve maximum product quality and lowest production costs, while preserving our environment. Especially in the automotive industry, which has high production costs, scientists have been looking relentlessly for alternatives to petrol, which is limited in supply and pollutes our planet. State of the art PVD Vacuum Coating Technology provides the most efficient solutions to all these crucial issues.

Royal Technology’s Solution on Hydrogen FCEV Bipolar Plates Coating

FC stack contains an array of catalyst coated membranes and stainless steel plates, called “bipolar plates”. The electrolyte membrane is the key technology, this special coating provides a low contact resistance and prevents corrosion through the fuel cell’s lifetime.

Technical advantages

Royal Technology FCEV1213
________Bipolar Plate Coating Equipment For Hydrogen FCEV

The core technique is how to generate the electrical energy with fuel cell power modules through electrochemical reaction between hydrogen as fuel and oxygen. Scientists, engineers, professors from transportation organizations and worldwide vehicle manufactures have made thousands of tests and finally developed the proper processing.

Royal Technology has been working closely with customers in the past 5 years and successfully designed and fabricated high efficiency, commercialized and standardized sputtering deposition systems. We firmly believe that this technology will disrupt the vehicles industry.
