  • Patent number: 10847830
    Abstract: Provided are conducting members for fuel cells obtained by applying a protective film forming agent to a surface-treated base material having a base material and at least one alloy plating layer formed on the base material in order to form a protective film on the alloy plating layer, and thereafter subjecting the surface-treated base material to an acid treatment. In the conducting members for fuel cells of the present invention, the protective film forming agent preferably contains a mixture of a compound having a thiol group and an azole-based compound, and/or an azole-based compound having a thiol group. In the conducting members for fuel cells of the present invention, the acid treatment is preferably a treatment using sulfuric acid or nitric acid.

  • Patent number: 10525670
    Abstract: An alloy plate coated material including a base material and an alloy plate layer which is formed on the base material to constitute an outermost layer and is formed from a M1-M2-M3 alloy. M1 is at least one element selected from Ni, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn and Sn. M2 is at least one element selected from Pd, Re, Pt, Rh, Ag and Ru. M3 is at least one element selected from P and B. The alloy plate layer has a molar ratio of M1 to M2 (M1/M2) of 0.005 to 0.5.

  • Publication number: 20070071994
    Abstract: A surface-treated Al sheet that has excellent adhesion with a plating layer, solder wettability, and soldering strength, and can be preferably used for a heat sink which has excellent heat radiation and can be soldered; a heat sink using the Al sheet; and a method for manufacturing the surface-treated Al sheet at low cost are intended to be provided. A Zn layer is formed on a surface of an Al substrate, and a Ni layer and a Sn layer are formed by plating by displacement plating thereon, or a layer which has a solder flux property and improves thermal emission is further formed on the surface-treated Al sheet.
