Description:

Project purpose:
- choosing the most efficient material for actual fuel cell
- designing the geometry of the cell plates or tubes
- creating formula (if possible) of how efficiency depends on types of material and geometry used in a fuel cell

SS Alloys
posted by: Steamo on Friday, February 22, 2008 at 02:49 AM
I started to research the assorted alloys of stainless that exist out there and I found a type of alloy called Super Duplex Stainless

http://www.msm.cam.ac.uk/phase-trans/2005/Stainless_steels/stainless.html

The link explains that these alloys has far less nickel than most other alloys and much more iron (ferrite) while at the same time refining the grain size with better corrosion resistance and added strength. The alloy does not use as much nickel so it drives down the cost of these alloys.

I am not sure if these alloys would work better but I am researching it.

Some studies and tests were already done and described on a water fuel cell here:

Although studies on the forum above are scattered and in many cases not complete.
