A gas diffusion electrode for a membrane electrode assembly is provided with expanded metal layers each having a mesh configuration defining a length orientation of the expanded metal layers. The expanded metal layers each have opposed flat sides and are stacked in a layered arrangement such that the flat sides of the expanded metal layers that are neighboring each other in the layered arrangement are facing each other as facing flat sides, respectively. The facing flat sides are connected to each other by pulsed resistance welding at welded contact points. Due to the mesh configuration, the welded contact points are distributed evenly across the entire surface area of the facing flat sides. At least one of the expanded metal layers is oriented with its length orientation so as to be rotated by 90° relative to the length orientation of one of the neighboring expanded metal layers. |
