In order to reduce the weight of metal bipolar plate for the application of aircraft fuel cell. Four light-weight sandwich structures were designed and manufactured by laser additive manufacturing. This study focuses on the formability, bending mechanical properties, and electrical conductivity properties of the LPBF-processed sandwich structure bipolar plates.
