We can provide a minimum porosity of 45 %.
Hydrogen generation is a fast growing market, requesting timely and qualitative supply of PTL and/or information.
Hence questions may arise on various subjects which we envisage to tackle here.
What is the lowest porosity which Bekaert can supply?
We can provide a minimum porosity of 45 %.
What is Stainless Steel alloy 316L?
Grade 1.4404 or 316L is an austenitic stainless steel type AISI 316 which has very good corrosion resistance due to its high chromium and molybdenum content combined with a low carbon content.
Can the thickness be adapted to fit the cell design?
Our standard portfolio is available in the following thickness range:
You can request a quote on our website.
For commercial projects the thickness can be adapted, but this will have an impact on porosity.
What are the tolerances on dimensions, length, width and thickness?
The standard tolerances which are applicable to the dimensions of our sample materials: ± 4mm.
For commercial projects, we have custom cutting technologies with tolerances of ± 0,5 mm and a thickness tolerance of ± 10%.
What product dimensions are available?
Limiting to standard products:
You can request a quote on our website.
Larger and custom sizes are available for industrial quantities. Please contact us with your questions.
What is the grade of the materials being used?
Titanium: Grade 1
Nickel: Grade 200
Stainless steel: AISI 316L
Which coating technology is used for platinum (Pt) coating?
Currently we offer electroplating technology as the only option for platinum coating.
Our R&D team is actively investigating the durability of Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) technology.
Does Bekaert offer Nickel foam and/or powder?
Currently we do not offer nickel (Ni) foam or nickel (Ni) powder.
Can the Titanium products be coated with Platinum (Pt) or Gold (Au)?
We provide protective, double-sided platinum coatings with a standard coating thickness of 200 nm nominal.
Custom coating specifications are available for industrial quantities
