Problems solved by technology

Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics has also explored the deposition of carbon film on the surface of the iron base. Although the corrosion resistance has been improved to a certain extent, the carbon film is easy to fall off during the long-term operation of the battery.
(3) Preparation of multilayer film: Li Moucheng of Shanghai University and others invented a patent for preparing a three-layer film on the iron-based surface for surface modification. The inner and outer layers are SnO 2 , IrO 2 , the middle layer is Cr or Mo, and the coating thickness is 0.1-50μm, which has obtained a satisfactory corrosion resistance effect, but it is also expensive
[0006] So far, the coating technology on various substrates is immature, especially in terms of cost reduction, and coatings on iron-based surfaces cannot fully meet the requirements for fuel cell operation
This is mainly due to the fact that the prepared coatings are all deposited by means of PVD or CVD, and there are certain surface defects.
In addition, a certain amount of heating during the coating process is also unfavorable to subsequent processing. For example, whether the two-piece welded bipolar plate material is deformed or the weld seam cracks during the coating process, there are still problems
