The invention relates to a plate heat exchanger for a process engineering plant, comprising a heat exchanger block which has a plurality of alternatingly arranged heating surface elements and separating plates, wherein the separating plates are soldered to the heating surface elements with the aid of solder layers provided at the separating plates, and wherein, in at least a part of the separating plates, the solder layers comprise at least two soldered areas that differ in terms of the alloy composition thereof.

A method of producing a flow field plate for a fuel cell comprises over-profiling relief features in a die set to more accurately reproduce the intended flow channel features in the pressed plate. The process includes determining a target relief profile of features extending across the plate along at least a first dimension of the plate, modulating the relief profile with an over-profiling parameter, as a function of the first dimension; forming a die with the modulated relief profile; and pressing a flow field plate using the die with modulated relief profile to thereby produce the unmodulated, target relief profile in the flow field plate.

In a method for the production of a cooling plate from a material having thermal conductivity, a workpiece in the form of a flat material blank with uniform material thickness is placed into a tool. The workpiece is pressed in a first stage by an inner punch of the tool to form in cooperation with pin forming openings of the tool pins upon an effective surface swept by the coolant, as the workpiece is held down by an outer punch of the tool, such that the pins protrude approximately perpendicular over a base area of the workpiece. In a second stage, the workpiece is pressed by the outer punch such as to form an essentially radially extending, flat peripheral edge of reduced material thickness in surrounding relation to the pins, as the workpiece with the formed pins is held down by the inner punch of the tool.
