Fe-based amorphous alloys as bipolar plates for PEM fuel cell
Two compositions of Fe-based Fe50Cr18Mo8Al2Y2C14B6 and Fe44Cr15Mo14Y2C15B6N4 amorphous alloys were developed as alternative bipolar plate material for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). In this paper, we present results of an investigation on the electrical, mechanical, corrosion properties and processing ability of these amorphous alloys. The combination of excellent properties indicated that Fe-based amorphous alloys could be potential candidate materials as bipolar plates in PEMFC. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V All rights reserved.
