Abstract: L'invention a trait à des procédés de désoxydation de surfaces métalliques. Un procédé selon l'invention peut consister à mettre une surface d'une bande métallique (102) en contact avec une ou plusieurs solutions chimiques jusqu'à ce que la baisse de potentiel dans l'épaisseur de la bande métallique (102) soit inférieure à une valeur présélectionnée. Afin de traiter une bande métallique (102) de manière qu'elle convienne à la fabrication d'une plaque bipolaire destinée à une pile à combustible, l'on peut traiter la bande métallique (102) jusqu'à ce que la baisse de potentiel soit inférieure à environ 15 mV. Une surface de la bande métallique (102) peut être mise en contact, pendant une première période de temps, avec une première solution chimique possédant un pH compris entre 10 et 14. Ensuite, ladite surface peut être mise en contact, pendant une seconde période de temps, avec une seconde solution chimique possédant un pH compris entre 1 et 3. Un revêtement organique conducteur peut ensuite être appliqué sur la surface. De tels procédés peuvent particulièrement être mis en oeuvre conjointement avec un processus de couchage sur bande.

Abstract: A suspension assembly (10) is provided that includes a strut (14) connected
between a lower control arm (18) and a portion of the vehicle frame or body (12). This
strut includes a hydraulic cylinder (24) and rod (28) disposed therein. A first spring seat

rod spaced from the other spring seat. A spring (38) is arranged between the spring seats to
provide a desired suspension load characteristic. At least one of the spring seats extends
circumferentially about its connection to either the rod or hydraulic cylinder less than 360°.
Since the spring engages the spring seat less than 360 °, a non-uniform force (F3) is

by the suspension geometry. In this manner, the friction force at the bearing surface is
minimized or eliminated.
