Hydrogen FCEV Bipolar Plates PVD Gold Sputtering Coating Machine

Gold has a bright, reddish-yellow color in its purest form. It does not oxidize in the air at room temperature, so it remains very stable under normal conditions and its electrical conductivity is constant. It is one of the most common precious metals used in finishing. 

Gold is corrosion resistant, which makes it a good finish for connector pins and electrical switch contacts.

Gold plating is used in parts and components across a wide range of main industries:

1. Medical applications: body implants 

2. Energy: hydrogen fuel cell Bipolar plates

3. Semiconductor: microelectronic chips

4. Aerospace & defense

5. Telecommunications and other more

ROYAL Technology supplies turnkey coating solutions for manufactures who are looking for a reliable team for long term cooperation. 

Robust design, large batches, fast cycle, flexible coating processes are the basic design concepts ROYAL Team has been pursuing.

 Design Advantages

1. Energy saving: compact design and molecular pumps are applied

2. High target utilization up to 40% with planar sputtering cathode

Hydrogen FCEV Industry Development

Nowadays it’s more important than ever for manufacturers to develop and find best coating solutions to achieve maximum product quality and lowest production costs, while preserving our environment. Especially in the automobile industry, which has high production costs, scientists have been looking relentlessly for alternatives to petrol, which is limited in supply and pollutes our planet. State of the art PVD Vacuum Coating Technology provides the most efficient solutions to all these crucial issues.

Royal Technology’s Solution on Hydrogen FCEV Bipolar Plates Coating

FC stack contains an array of catalyst coated membranes and stainless steel plates, called “bipolar plates”. The electrolyte membrane is the key technology, this special coating provides a low contact resistance and prevents corrosion through the fuel cell’s lifetime.
