Aluminum Alloy 1100 Hydrocan Foil (0.25mm/1200mm) for Hydrogen Fuel Cell Bipolar Plates

Product Description:

HydroCan 1100 aluminum alloy foil, with a thickness of 0.25mm and a width of 1200mm, is a high-purity aluminum material (minimum 99% aluminum) engineered for hydrogen fuel cell bipolar plates. Bipolar plates are critical components in fuel cells, separating individual cell units, providing electrical connections, and distributing reactants (such as hydrogen and oxygen) and coolants. The 1100 alloy is selected for its excellent electrical conductivity (approximately 61% IACS, with a maximum resistivity of ≤0.02825 Ω·mm²/m at 20°C), corrosion resistance, and high formability, making it suitable for the demanding environment of fuel cells. Its lightweight nature (density approximately 2.7 g/cm³) helps reduce the weight of fuel cell stacks, which is particularly important for automotive and portable applications. The 1200mm width supports efficient, automated production, meeting the demands of the global fuel cell industry. Note that aluminum in the corrosive environment of fuel cells requires specialized coatings to prevent oxidation and increased contact resistance.

Core Benefits:

Advantage Detailed description


High Electrical Conductivity


Approximately 61% IACS ensures efficient current transmission, optimizing fuel cell performance.

High Formability

High ductility allows for complex flow field designs, enhancing production efficiency and cell performance.

Corrosion Resistance

With appropriate coatings (e.g., nickel or polymer), it resists the corrosive environment inside fuel cells, ensuring long-term reliability.

Weldability

Supports MIG or TIG welding techniques, ensuring strong, reliable connections for bipolar plate assembly.

Cost-Effectiveness

Compared to graphite or stainless steel, 1100 aluminum alloy offers a balance of performance and affordability, suitable for large-scale production.

Lightweight Design

With a density of approximately 2.7 g/cm³, about one-third that of stainless steel (approximately 8 g/cm³), it reduces fuel cell stack weight, improving efficiency in automotive and portable applications.
