A press separator made of a stainless steel sheet, for providing excellent corrosion
resistance and electric conductivity by a combination of a passive coating and
a deposition of boride or boron carbide, restriction corrosion without separation
or coming-off, by press forming, of depositions, and ensuring an extended service.
A stainless steel sheet, containing 0.005-1.5 wt. %, of B and having deposited
on the surface thereof at least one kind out of M23 (C, B)6 type
boron carbide, and M2B type and MB type borides, is press-formed in
a corrugated shape having continuous irregularities, with angles of bent portions
formed by bending or unbending by press forming being set at at least 15 degrees
and an outward bending R-value at up to 1 mm.
