A method of producing a separator for use in a fuel cell includes forming a press joint body including a seal member, a first metal separator, and a second metal separator, and plastically deforming the press joint body by applying a preliminary load to the press joint body in a height direction of the press joint body at a predetermined compression amount. The predetermined compression amount is changed based on a material characteristic of at least one of the seal member, the first metal separator, or the second metal separator.

A method of preparation and application for a glass ceramic sealing thin strip with high sealing performance, differing from using conventional glass ceramic packaging paste applied to the junction of the cell stack assembly and connecting plates. The glass ceramic sealing thin strip of present invention utilizes tape casting to produce a single layer or multi-layer stacking in accordance with the required thickness of the glass-ceramic sealing thin strip, and cutting the glass ceramic sealing thin strips from molds in accordance with the geometry of cell stacks with equal thickness of the glass ceramic sealing thin strip for SOFC cell stack assembly, aiming to overcome the setbacks of the conventional dispensing method with glass ceramic packaging paste that makes the thickness difficult to control, and to effectively improve sealing performance of the cell stack assembly and the power generation efficiency, and achieve commercial application with mass production.
