Abstract
A carrier for conveying components of a fuel cell to be sintered through a sintering furnace. The carrier comprises a metal sheet coated with a carbon-based paint, the carbon-based paint comprising an organic binder. The carbon-based paint may be an alcohol or a solvent-based paint or a water-based paint.
Claims6
A process for sintering electrodes for use in electrochemical cells comprising:
- placing an electrode in the form of a flat structure on an electrode sintering carrier, said electrode sintering carrier comprising a metal sheet coated with a carbon-based paint;
- conveying said electrode sintering carrier into a sintering furnace;
- heating said electrode to a sintering temperature;
- and
- removing said electrode sintering carrier with said sintered electrode from said sintering furnace.
