Abstract:
The present invention releases a method of producing a metal separator for a solid polymer fuel cell by stainless steel, titanium, or titanium alloy during which securing lower cost and mass producibility by using a material having a high workability to form a complicated shape by a high productivity, then using an inexpensive blast process to drive a conductive substance into the surface of the metal separator member, that is, provides a stainless steel, titanium, or titanium alloy solid polymer fuel cell separator comprised of stainless steel, titanium, or titanium alloy in the surface of which a low ion release conductive substance is buried, having an arithmetic mean roughness (Ra) of the separator surface of 0.5 to 5.0 μm, having a 10-point mean roughness (Rz) of 3 to 20 μm, having an average spacing of surface relief shapes (Sm) of 300 μm or less, having values of a warp rate and twist rate of a separator of 0.1 or less, and having a contact resistance value with respect to carbon paper of 15 mΩcm2 or less at a surface pressure of 1 MPa.
