Title:
METHOD OF METALLIC COMPONENT SURFACE MOODIFICATION FOR ELECTROCHEMICAL APPLICATIONS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/168649
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Method for forming a metallic component surface to achieve lower electrical contact resistance. The method comprises modifying a surface chemical composition and creating a micro-textured surface structure of the metallic component that includes small peaks and/or pits. The small peaks and pits have a round or irregular cross-sectional shape with a diameter between 10 nm and 10 microns, a height/depth between 10 nm and 10 microns, and a distribution density between 0.4 million/ cm2 and 5 billion cm2.
