Our engineering team is dedicated to providing comprehensive support from the initial stages of your design process, ensuring that you fully leverage our sophisticated forming, cutting, welding, and additional production technologies.
Utilizing a set of comprehensive design guidelines and drawing from our extensive experience, we guide your development team through the journey from preliminary sketches to finalized designs that are optimized for formability.
This collaborative process also involves integrating downstream production requirements early on, ensuring a seamless transition from design to manufacturing.
The process
To mitigate your project risks, we initiate our process by conducting small-scale forming tests using the original material in our dedicated prototyping press.
The structures thus formed are meticulously measured in our state-of-the-art measuring laboratory.
This strategic approach allows us to provide a time- and cost-efficient trajectory from your initial concept to the fully realized final product.
Moreover, should your project necessitate it, we are equipped to team up with expert partners for additional services, including Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Structural Analysis (FEA) simulations k.
This holistic service package ensures that all aspects of your project are expertly managed and optimized for success.
Materials
The base material plays a pivotal role in defining the functionality, quality, consistency, and cost of metal bipolar plates.
Understanding this critical factor, Borit ensures repeatable high quality by maintaining a vast supply base for standard base materials.
We also cater to customers who decide to supply their own material on consignment, providing flexibility and accommodation to various project needs.
Borit is equipped to process metal foils with thicknesses ranging from 25µm to 2.5mm, and offers optional precoating options on one or both sides of the material to enhance product performance and durability.
Versatile sheet metal solutions
Our capabilities extend across a wide spectrum of sheet metal materials, ensuring that practically all types can be efficiently processed to meet the diverse needs of our clients.
The most commonly processed metals in our operations include
Stainless Steel
Varieties such as SS316L, SS304L, 441, 444, Crofer, and more.
Known for its corrosion resistance and strength, making it ideal for demanding applications like PEM fuel cells and electrolysers
Titanium
Including Grade 1, Grade 2, and beyond.
Celebrated for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance, particularly in challenging environments of PEM electrolysers and fuel cells
Alloys
Such as Inconel and Hastelloy, which are chosen for their ability to withstand extreme temperatures and corrosive conditions, ensuring durability and longevity typically required in HTPEM applications or high temperature heat exchangers
Aluminium
Favored for its lightweight properties and good conductivity, making it suitable for a variety of applications including heat exchangers.
Copper
Which offers excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, ideal for efficient energy transfer required in heat exchangers
Nickel
Known for its robustness and resistance to corrosion, enhancing the longevity of the plates for alkaline electrolysers
Superior quality
This comprehensive processing capability allows us to meet precise specifications and deliver superior quality metal bipolar plates tailored to the unique requirements of each project, underpinning the advancement and efficiency of fuel cell technologies.
Coating
While recognizing the importance of coatings for achieving high-quality and long-lasting bipolar plates, it's important to note that our expertise lies not in producing these coatings ourselves but in supplying pre-coated raw materials or manufacturing products compatibie with various coating processes.
We collaborate with specialized partners and leverage a comprehensive supply chain to ensure that our clients have access to the best pre-coated materials and coating services on the market.
This approach allows us to focus on our core competencies in metal processing and forming, while still enabling our clients to benefit from advanced coating technologies that meet their specific needs.
