Hydrogen
Hydrogen is emerging as a game-changing solution in the global energy transition. As nations ramp up efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions, hydrogen stands out as a powerful and versatile alternative, delivering clean and decarbonized energy with limitless potential. One of the most concrete industrial application are hydrogen-powered vehicles.
FEATURES
At the core of this revolution are fuel cells, redefining industries and mobility by offering a tangible solution to today’s environmental challenges. Fuel cells are composed of layers of thin, metallic plates called bipolar plates. Bipolar plates require extremely precise assembly to ensure the system operates efficiently and safely.
Advanced manufacturing joining technologies like laser welding come into play as it offers several advantages like :
- Precision
- No excessive heat distortion or material deformation as membranes are only a few tenths of a millimeter thick,
- Speed (for mass-production while keeping costs low),
- Reliability and durability as welds are strong and gas-tight.
