SS / Ti Porous Plates

Titanium plates up to 600 × 400 mm; SS plates up to 300 × 300 mm; thickness 0.5–20 mm (Ti) or 0.5–10 mm (SS). Plates can be waterjet cut or wire-EDM cut to precise shapes — round, rectangular, or irregular — with hole patterns, slots, or custom profiles machined after sintering.

For PEM electrolyzer applications, titanium porous plates serve as current collector and gas diffusion layer simultaneously. Porosity (30–45%) and pore size are specified to the individual stack design, and surface finish (Ra) is measured and certified for each batch. The sintered structure resists hydrogen embrittlement under cathodic charging, and the as-sintered surface is smooth enough for low-resistance electrical contact without additional polishing.

For electrocatalysis research, plates are available with a ruthenium-iridium oxide (Ru-Ir, MMO) coating — typically 8–12 µm on a 100 × 100 mm format — for bifunctional oxygen and hydrogen evolution catalyst studies in PEM electrolyzer and fuel cell development.
