Product Description

Introduction

The 1060 aluminum alloy foil, with a thickness of 0.3mm and a width of 1200mm, is a high-purity aluminum material (99.6% aluminum) designed for use as a substrate for fuel cell bipolar plates. Bipolar plates are critical components in fuel cells, facilitating electrical conduction and gas flow management in applications like hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and stationary power systems. The 1060 alloy's exceptional electrical conductivity (approximately 61% IACS, with a maximum resistance of ≤0.02825 Ω·mm²/m at 20°C), corrosion resistance, and lightweight nature (density of 2.7 g/cm³) make it an ideal choice for enhancing fuel cell efficiency and durability. Its formability supports complex plate designs, while its recyclability aligns with global sustainability goals. The wide 1200mm format enables large-scale, automated manufacturing, catering to the growing demand for clean energy solutions. 

Specification

Applications

The 1060 aluminum alloy foil is likely used globally in fuel cell manufacturing due to its compliance with international standards (e.g., ASTM B209, ISO 6361) and its performance in diverse environments. Key applications include:

1.Asia: In Japan and South Korea, leaders in fuel cell technology, manufacturers like [Chalco Aluminum]([invalid url, do not cite]application/fuel-cell-aluminum/) likely supply 1060 foil for bipolar plates in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) and stationary power systems, supporting efficient energy production in urban and industrial settings. China also likely adopts this material for its expanding fuel cell market.

2.Europe:Countries like Germany and France probably use 1060 aluminum foil in fuel cell applications for automotive and stationary power, benefiting from its corrosion resistance in varied climates.

3.North America:In the United States, companies like [Online Metals]([invalid url, do not cite]en/buy/aluminum-sheet-plate-1060) likely integrate 1060 foil into bipolar plates for fuel cell buses and backup power systems, leveraging its lightweight properties for enhanced efficiency. Canada also likely adopts this material for similar applications.

4.Emerging Markets:In regions like India and Southeast Asia, growing clean energy initiatives likely rely on 1060 aluminum foil for its cost-effectiveness and durability in fuel cell production for off-grid and industrial applications.  

Beyond bipolar plates, the alloy's versatility extends to other fuel cell components, such as current collectors and structural supports, showcasing its broad applicability in global clean energy markets.

Advantages:

1.High Electrical Conductivity:With a conductivity of approximately 61% IACS, it ensures efficient power transmission, reducing energy losses in fuel cells.

2.Lightweight Design:Its low density of 2.7 g/cm³ reduces the weight of fuel cell stacks, improving vehicle efficiency and simplifying installation in stationary systems.

Advantages:

3.Corrosion Resistance:The high-purity alloy forms a natural oxide layer, providing excellent protection against corrosive environments, such as those involving hydrogen and water in fuel cells.
4.Formability:High ductility allows for complex shaping, supporting intricate bipolar plate designs with channels for gas flow, enhancing manufacturing efficiency.

5.Weldability: Its ability to be welded using techniques like MIG or TIG ensures strong, reliable joints, supporting robust fuel cell designs.

6.Cost-Effectiveness: Compared to materials like stainless steel or titanium, 1060 aluminum offers a balance of performance and affordability, ideal for large-scale production.

Case Studies     

The following case studies illustrate the likely applications of 1060 aluminum alloy foil in fuel cell bipolar plate substrates, based on its properties:

Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles in Japan: A leading automaker like Toyota likely uses 1060 aluminum foil for bipolar plates in its Mirai fuel cell vehicle. The foil's high conductivity and lightweight design improve energy efficiency by 5-10%, while its corrosion resistance ensures durability in humid conditions.
Stationary Fuel Cell Power in Germany: A German energy company likely employs 1060 aluminum foil for bipolar plates in stationary fuel cell systems for industrial backup power. The material's durability and cost-effectiveness reduce maintenance costs by 15%, supporting reliable energy supply.
Fuel Cell Buses in the US: A transit authority in California likely integrates 1060 aluminum foil into bipolar plates for fuel cell buses. The lightweight material enhances vehicle range, while its conductivity ensures efficient power delivery.
Off-Grid Fuel Cell Systems in India: A rural electrification project in India likely uses 1060 aluminum foil for bipolar plates in off-grid fuel cell systems. The alloy's cost-effectiveness and corrosion resistance make it ideal for providing reliable power in remote areas.
