Embodiment 1

[0017] A 0.5mm stainless steel plate of AISI 430 (with a Cr content of 17wt%) was used as the matrix, and the matrix structure was ferrite. Cut the 430 stainless steel plate into a sample with a size of 40x 40mm; then process the sample in the stamping equipment to form a gas flow field on both sides of the sample; and successively use dilute NaOH solution, acetone, etc. to clean the surface of the sample to remove the surface pollutants. Put the sample into a special vacuum container and first carry out infiltration and alloying treatment, and obtain a Co-Ni infiltration and alloying layer on the surface of the 430 stainless steel connector. The specific implementation is as follows: put the 430 stainless steel connecting body into a closed container as the cathode, and after the container is evacuated, argon is introduced as the working gas to keep the pressure in the furnace at 35Pa, and a 650V pulsed DC voltage is applied to the connecting body sample, and the metal 550V ...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a fuel cell connector and a surface modification method thereof, in particular to a surface-modified metal connector of a solid oxide fuel cell and a manufacturing method thereof, belonging to the technical field of fuel cells. Background technique [0002] Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) have broad application prospects in distributed small power plants, ships / cars and other vehicles due to their advantages of cleanliness, high efficiency, high power, and quietness. A solid oxide fuel cell is a single cell composed of an anode, a cathode, and an electrolyte, and the voltage of the single cell is below 1.0V. According to the power requirements of practical applications, it is necessary to connect the single cells with connectors to form a battery stack to meet the voltage and current requirements. The connector not only plays the role of distributing fuel gas and oxidant to the battery anode and battery cathode respectively, but...
