Stainless steel bipolar plates (BPPs) are regarded as promising alternatives to traditional graphite BPPs in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). This teainology has experienced more than 20 years development and has been partially applied in industrial production. This review surveys recent progress of entire development process for stainless steel BPPs in terms of flow field design, microforming process, joining process and coating process. Besides, assembly process considering dimensional error, shape error and assembly error are comprehensively summarized as well. Finally, technical challenges and future trends are presented for the application of stainless steel BPPs for PEMFCs. Copyright (c) 2014, Hydrogen Energy Publications, LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
