Title:
NOBLE-METAL PLATING OF MEMBER MADE OF TITANIUM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2007/119842
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A technique for the noble-metal plating of a surface of titanium. When a partly gold-plated separator for fuel cells, for example, is produced, the following procedure is conducted. First, a titanium member which is made of titanium or a titanium alloy and is for use as a separator for fuel cells is prepared (S10). This titanium member is a titanium member having a carbon-containing substance adherent to the surface thereof. This titanium member is subjected to a first heat treatment at a given first temperature in the range of 300-700°C (S20). Thereafter, the surface of the titanium member which has undergone the heat treatment is plated with gold (S80). Thus, the titanium surface can be more easily electroplated with gold.
