Funded Activity Summary
Micro-roll forming of metal bipolar plates for fuel cells. This project aims to develop a novel forming technology for the production of metal bipolar plates for fuel cells: micro-roll forming. This poses a number of challenges particularly due to the low material thickness to be formed. These challenges include the development of advanced models that account for size effects in the process and represent the unique deformation conditions and material fracture behaviour. The project plans to produce prototypes and to compare part complexity with that achievable by conventional micro stamping. The intended outcome of the project includes advanced computer models for process design and the new micro-forming technology validated through extensive laboratory and plant trials.Funded Activity Details
