Abstract

See full text

Stainless steel for a fuel cell separator plate and a manufacturing method therefor are disclosed. The stainless steel for a fuel cell separator plate, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises: a stainless base material; and a passive film formed on the stainless base material, wherein a Cr/Fe atomic weight ratio in a 1 nm or less thickness region of the stainless base material, which is adjacent to an interface between the stainless and the passive film, is 0.45 or more. Therefore, by modifying the surface of the stainless steel for a fuel cell separator plate, a low interface contact resistance and a good corrosion resistance can be obtained, and a separate additional process such as precious metal coating can be removed, such that manufacturing costs are reduced and productivity can be improved.
