Abstract: A conductive member includes a base material and a covering part located on the base material and containing a first element. The base material contains chromium. The first element has a smaller value of first ionization energy and a smaller absolute value of free energy formation of oxide than chromium.

Abstract: A cell stack device includes at least one cell and at least one conductive member. The cell includes an element portion. The conductive member includes a base member containing chromium, a first layer containing an oxide containing zinc, and a zinc spinel portion located at the interface between the base member and the first layer. The first layer includes a first region facing the element portion. A first overlap area ratio, at which the zinc spinel portion located at a first interface between the first region and the base member overlaps with the first interface, is less than a second overlap area ratio, at which the zinc spinel portion located at a second interface between a second region where the surface of the first layer is exposed to an oxidizing atmosphere and the base member overlaps with the second interface.

Abstract: A cushion pan for a seat cushion is formed from a metal sheet and the cushion pan includes: an outer frame section that is formed in a frame shape in a seat plan view, a pair of mutually opposing sides of the outer frame section each including a horizontal portion with a respective thickness direction along a seat up-down direction; a pair of side plate portions that extend toward one side in the seat up-down direction from facing end portions of the pair of horizontal portions; and a plate spring portion having a flat plate shape bridging between ends of the pair of side plate portions on an opposite side of the side plate portions from the pair of horizontal portions.
