The expansion of the H2 economy
is gaining momentum internationally. Against this backdrop, the cost-effective
large-scale production of efficient H2 fuel cells is becoming all the more
important. The so-called bipolar plates are a key element within the H2 fuel
cells, with their forming in particular representing a central manufacturing
step in the value chain.
The project “Simulation
and prototyping for the cost-efficient production of metallic bipolar plates in
fuel cells” – H2-Enabler for short – therefore addresses the testing of
hot forming on a laboratory system for metallic bipolar plates. The forming
process is based on a simulation to be developed in the project.
