Under the global trend of energy transition, reducing carbon emissions and improving energy efficiency have become key objectives. As an ideal clean energy source, hydrogen energy has broad application prospects in fields such as transportation, industry, and energy storage.
Focusing on key areas of hydrogen energy, with the continuous maturation of fuel cell technology and the gradual expansion of the market, competition in the bipolar plate market, one of the core components of fuel cells, is becoming increasingly intense.
Bipolar plates are key components for the efficient conversion and utilization of hydrogen energy, serving to conduct current between the electrodes. Two ultra-thin metal plates, with a thickness ranging from 50μm to 100μm, are tightly welded together. This requires extremely high standards for sealing, strength, flatness, and other factors, making the processing highly challenging. As a result, bipolar plate manufacturing has long been one of the bottlenecks hindering the industrialization and commercialization of hydrogen fuel cell technology.
Typically, a set of bipolar plates may have weld seams that are 1 meter or even longer. A single fuel cell is composed of around 400 sets of bipolar plates. If a fuel cell production line has an annual capacity of 1 million units, the required welding seam length for the production line would exceed 400,000 kilometers. Given such a massive welding demand, traditional bipolar plate manufacturing processes can no longer meet the development needs of the fuel cell industry. As a result, more precise and efficient laser welding technology has become the ideal choice for manufacturers.
With its deep expertise in laser processing intelligent equipment, HGTECH began research in 2016 to address key technologies in the efficient and precise laser processing of fuel cell bipolar plates. The company has continuously expanded the application of laser technology in the intelligent processing equipment field of the hydrogen energy industry. As a result, HGTECH has developed a series of specialized, industry-leading products, focusing on overcoming the bottlenecks in efficient bipolar plate welding technology.
