This research explores the application of X-Ray Computer Tomography (CT) in the development and testing of fuel cells. Conducted by Thomas Raab, Gerhard Buchinger, Johann Kastner, and Dieter Meissner at the University of Applied Sciences Wels, Austria, the study highlights the nondestructive testing methods used for material and cell development, sealing integrity, and assessing component reliability. It also examines alternative fuels and their effects, supported by REM and EDX analysis. Utilizing microfocus and macrofocus X-ray tubes, the technology allows for comprehensive analysis of fuel cell structures.
