Promising alloys for intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cell interconnect application

The formation of a low Cr-volatility and electrically conductive oxide outer layer atop an inner chromia layer via thermal oxidation is highly desirable for preventing chromium evaporation from solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) metallic interconnects at the SOFC operation temperatures. In this paper, a number of ferritic Fe–22Cr alloys with different levels of Mn and Ti as well as a Ni-based alloy Haynes 242 were cyclically oxidized in air at 800 °C for twenty 100-h cycles. No oxide scale spallation was observed during thermal cycling for any of these alloys. A mixed Mn₂O₃/TiO₂ surface layer and/or a (Mn, Cr)₃O₄ spinel outer layer atop a Cr₂O₃ inner layer was formed for the Fe–22Cr series alloys, while an NiO outer layer with a Cr₂O₃ inner layer was developed for Haynes 242 after cyclic oxidation. For the Fe–22Cr series alloys, the effects of Mn and Ti contents as well as alloy purity on the oxidation resistance and scale area specific resistance were evaluated. The performance of the ferritic alloys was compared with that of Haynes 242. The mismatch in thermal expansion coefficient between the different layers in the oxide scale was identified as a potential concern for these otherwise promising alloys.     

Role of deposition parameters on microstructure and mechanical properties of chromium oxide coatings

Chromium oxide coatings were deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering on high speed steel (HSS) substrate under various oxygen flow rates and radio frequency (RF) powers. The effect of deposition conditions on the microstructure, hardness and critical load of chromium oxide coating failure was studied. The results indicated that a crystalline chromium oxide coating formed at a high oxygen flow rate and a low RF power exhibited a higher hardness and a lower critical load as compared to a chromium oxide coating with an amorphous microstructure.

Microstructure, mechanical and tribological properties of Cr1−xAlxN films deposited by pulsed-closed field unbalanced magnetron sputtering (P-CFUBMS)

Nanocrystallized Cr_1−xAl_xN films with various Al contents (0 to 68 at.%) were deposited by pulsed closed field unbalanced magnetron sputtering (P-CFUBMS). The effects of aluminum content on the microstructure, mechanical and tribological properties of the Cr_1−xAl_xN films have been investigated. It was found that the hardness and elastic modulus of Cr_1−xAl_xN films increased with increasing Al contents in the films and reached the highest value of 36 GPa and 370 GPa, respectively, at an Al content of 58.5 at.%. Addition of Al beyond 64.0 at.% resulted in a change in crystal structure from B1 cubic to B4 hexagonal phase. The wear resistance improved gradually with the increase of Al in the Cr_1−xAl_xN films. A combination of the abrasive and adhesive wear mechanism was proposed based on the SEM and EDS analysis of the wear track. The steady state dry coefficient of friction measured against a WC ball for the Cr_1−xAl_xN films were in the range of 0.36-0.55, and the wear rate was in the 10^− 6 mm³ N^− 1 m^− 1 range.     

A study of the passive films on chromium by capacitance measurement

Using capacitance measurement and Mott-Schottky analysis, the semiconducting properties of passive films formed on chromium within the passive potential range under different conditions were investigated. The study reveals a p-type behavior of the passive layers. Two semiconductive parameters, i.e., the acceptor density (N_A) and the flatband potential (E_FB), which are mainly related to composition and surface charges of the passive films, have been measured. The effect of film formation potential, passivation time, pH and composition of solutions on the parameters are discussed. N_A increases either with lowering film formation potentials or with prolonging passivation times. This is attributed to the transformation of a less hydrated oxide film into a more hydrated form. The changes of E_FB are discussed as a function of adsorptive anions and pH values of electrolyte solution.

Characteristic study of N07718 superalloy surface prepared by cold spray

For better performance in erosive–corrosive, wear and other extreme environmental conditions surface properties of metals and alloys are usually altered by different techniques. Amongst the various surface coating techniques cold spraying is a relatively new and less reported method. Coating formation at energy lower than the melting stage of materials brings novelty to this process. In this study surface of UNS No. - N07718 alloy is altered by cold spraying chromium-carbide (nickel-chromium) layer. The microstructure properties of this cold sprayed surface are observed by various characterization techniques and the results are used to study mechanism of coating layer formation by cold spray process. This newly developed cold sprayed surface is found to be eligible for further testing in wear and erosive-corrosive environmental conditions.
