Abstract: The invention relates to corrosion proofing of current-carrying components of molten carbonate fuel cells. In particular, the invention relates to a current-carrying component for a molten carbonate fuel cell, particularly an anode current collector or bipolar plate, with a substrate made of stainless steel and with a corrosion proofing coating provided on the substrate to protect the component from the anode gas atmosphere and the molten electrolyte of the fuel cell.

Abstract: Work pieces to be galvanically coated or plated are held in place with a good electrical contact by a holding device having an electrically conducting hollow carrier (2), a magnet (3) removably mounted inside said hollow carrier (2) the ends of which are closable for protection of the magnet in a galvanic bath. A cover (4), with receptacles (28) or bore holes in which the work pieces or parts (12) are received, is clamped to the carrier (2) by a releasable clamping device (5). The magnet (3) is arranged alongside a contact surface (19) through which the magnet holds the parts (12), since the pole axis (P) of the magnet (3) extends perpendicularly to the contact surface (19) which may be formed by a machined surface of a carrier wall or by an electrically conducting ferromagnetic plate secured to the carrier.

Abstract: A galvanizing magazine has electrically conducting electrodes for holding a multitude of small parts in positions that assure uniform coating conditions for all parts held in any of electrodes held in the magazine. A hollow cylindrical electrode with slots therein forms the magazine, or a plurality of rod electrodes held in a current distributing disk at one end and in a mounting disk at the other end form the magazine. The electrodes have receptacles so that each receptacle holds one small part in such a way that the longitudinal axis of the small part and the central axis of the receptacle extend at a right angle and radially to a rotational axis of the magazine. The receptacles are uniformly spaced from each other in a row along a respective electrode and also uniformly spaced with angular spacings in the circumferential direction around the longitudinal rotational axis of the magazine.
