    摘要: An electro-conductive plate assembly for a fuel cell has a pair of stamped plates joined together to define a coolant volume therein. Each of the pair of stamped plates has a flow field on a major outer surface arranged to maximize the contact area between major inner surfaces of the plates while allowing coolant to distribute and flow readily within the coolant volume. The flow fields formed on the major outer surfaces provide corresponding sets of lands on the major inner surfaces that contact to form a third flow field of the coolant volume. The third flow field formed by the lands includes a plurality of longitudinal channels and an array of flow disruptors. The bipolar plate assembly further includes a seal arrangement and integral manifolds to direct reactant gas and coolant flow through the fuel cell.

    摘要: A method of fabrication is adapted to weld paired metal plates, particularly fuel cell bipolar plates, using a partial vacuum to hold the paired metal plates together during the welding process. Each bipolar plate has a plurality of contact surfaces for joining the paired metal plates. The contact surfaces of a first plate are co-aligned with contact surfaces of a second plate. An outer perimeter and a plurality of reactant gas channels and ports of each plate pair are sealed to form a sealable interior volume. A partial vacuum is drawn in the interior volume to clamp each plate pair together at the contact surfaces and a weld joint is made between at least a plurality of the contact surfaces. Laser welding is preferably used for its ability to fuse the contact surfaces together without perforating the plates and thereby losing the partial vacuum.
