TLDR
In this paper, a simulated polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) environment was used to investigate the interfacial contact resistance (ICR) of 2205 stainless steel in a simulated PEMFC anode environment.Abstract:
Duplex 2205 stainless steel was investigated in a simulated polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) environment; stable passive films formed quickly under these conditions. The interfacial contact resistance (ICR) values for 2205 steel with the air-formed film were identical to those for 349 and lower than those for AISI446 steel. The ICR values for the passive film formed in a simulated PEMFC anode environment were lower than those for the passive film formed in the cathode environment, but both were higher than those for air-formed film. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis revealed that the passive films were mainly Cr 2 O 3 while the air-formed film was composed of Fe-oxides and Cr 2 O 3 . An estimate of the thickness of the surface films was made.read more

Evaluation of coated metallic bipolar plates for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated a number of protective coatings deposited on stainless steel substrates by electroplating and physical vapor deposition (PVD) methods, and the results showed that Zr-coated samples satisfy the DOE target for corrosion resistance at both anode and cathode sides in typical PEM fuel cell environments in the short-term but they do not meet the DOE contact resistance goal.
