| 20120135336 | CONTACT ELEMENT FOR AN ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE CONNECTION BETWEEN AN ANODE AND AN INTERCONNECTOR OF A HIGH-TEMPERATURE FUEL CELL - The invention relates to a contact element for an electrically conductive connection between an anode and an interconnector of a high-temperature fuel cell. It is the object of the invention to achieve a more reliable electrically conductive connection with long-term stability between an anode and the associated interconnector of a high-temperature fuel cell. The contact element in accordance with the invention is arranged between an anode and an interconnector of a high-temperature fuel cell. It is formed with two areal electrically conductive part elements. In this respect, one respective part element is in touching contact with the anode and the other part element is in touching contact with the respective interconnector. Openings are formed in the part elements and the part elements are formed from materials having mutually different coefficients of thermal expansion. | 05-31-2012 |

| 20110143261 | SHAPED PART - A shaped part that is particularly suited as an interconnector or an end plate for a fuel cell stack, is produced by pressing and sintering a pulverulent starting material. The shaped part has a disc-shaped or plate-shaped basic body with a multiplicity of knob-like and/or ridge-like elevations with a height h. In cross section, each elevation has two inclined side flanks which lead, proceeding from an end contour of the elevation, via rounded corner portions, with a radius r or r′ directly or via intermediate rectilinear portions, into curved portions, with a radius R or R′, which in turn merge into the surface contour, of the basic body. The rectilinear portions, or, in the case of a direct transition of the rounded corner portions, into the curved portions, the tangents at the point of the transition, have an angle of inclination α or α′ with respect to the surface contour, in the range of 95° to 135°. The radius R or R′ is in the range of 0.15 to 1 mm and the height h is dimensioned such that the ratio R:h or R′:h is in a range of 0.25 to 1. | 06-16-2011 |
