Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A coating forming device forms a coating on a substrate, which is a component of a fuel cell separator, by thermal transfer. The device includes a lower die and an upper die each having a heating portion. A pressing surface of the lower die and a pressing surface of the upper die are both formed by a heat-resistant elastic member.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A device for forming a coating on a substrate, which is a component of a fuel cell separator, by thermal transfer, the device comprising a lower die and an upper die each having a heating portion, wherein at least one of a pressing surface of the lower die and a pressing surface of the upper die is formed by a heat-resistant elastic member. 2 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic member is arranged over the entire pressing surface. 3 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the elastic member includes a heat-resistant rubber sheet forming the pressing surface and a restriction member that restricts extension of the rubber sheet in a direction extending along the pressing surface. 4 . The device according to claim 3 , wherein the restriction member is a reinforced cloth formed of fiber material. 5 . The device according to claim 1 , wherein the pressing surface of the lower die and the pressing surface of the upper die are both formed by the elastic member. 6 . The device according to claim 1 , comprising a support member that supports the substrate and a thermal-transfer film in a state separate from both the pressing surface of the lower die and the pressing surface of the upper die when the pressing surfaces are separate from each other. 7 . A fuel cell separator comprising: a substrate including a flat plate-shaped flat separator and a porous passage plate; and a bonding material that bonds the flat separator and the porous passage plate in a state superposed on each other, wherein the bonding material surrounds a periphery of mutually contacting surfaces of the flat separator and the porous passage plate.
