The invention relates to a high-temperature resistant seal, particularly a
seal for use in a high-temperature fuel cell. The inventive seal
comprises a structured metallic layer having at least one area on whose
surface a filler is placed. The filler is comprised, in particular, of
clay minerals or ceramic materials. The seal thus advantageously combines
the sealing properties of a metallic layer, for example, of an undulated
metal foil with the elastic properties of the filler. The seal is
particularly suited for use at high temperatures and thus, for example,
in high-temperature fuel cells.
