Abstract

The invention relates to an interconnector comprising contact surfaces for contacting the electrodes of high-temperature fuel cells and to a method for producing said interconnector. The interconnector (5) is aluminous and connected to at least one nickel foil (13) by the formation of an alloy so that the electrodes of contacting contact surfaces contain nickel-aluminum alloys. The nickel-aluminum alloys result in a significant and long-time stable reduction of the contact resistance, whereby the nickel-aluminum alloys can be used, in particular, for contacting the anode (1). Particular embodiments provide that perforated plate-shaped, strip-shaped or punctiform nickel foils are connected to the contact surfaces of the interconnector by the formation of an alloy.
