- titanium thin plates and stainless steel thin plates are used as metal thin plates for separators from the viewpoint of corrosion resistance and durability.
- the metal thin plates are prevented from cracking due to a decrease in the thickness of the thin metal plates.
- Several techniques have been proposed in which a metal thin plate is pressed to form irregularities (channels).
- Patent Document 1 discloses a first step of forming a projecting portion at a portion where a protrusion is to be formed using a first press die in a pressing method of a plate material in which a plurality of protrusions are formed by pressing a plastically deformable plate material. Pressing the inner part closer to the center of the overhanging portion than the peripheral portion of the overhanging portion formed in the first step using a second press die, and a second step of completing the projection Processing methods have been proposed.

For this reason, a plurality of processes are essential, and the production cost increases. In addition, if the vertical wall is applied to a vertical or near-rectangular rectangular cross section, the vertical wall tension increases during coining molding, and cracks may occur.
