The corrosion and contact resistances of different coated and uncoated stainless steel grades were studied with a multisinglecell. MEAs and exhaust water were analyzed for accumulated iron after several long steady-state measurements. The interfacial contact resistances were measured before and after each test. Low contact resistance was achieved with the coated samples. There was large variation in the corrosion results due to differences in the coating quality.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
