RE Surface Treatment Results
• Oxidation resistance of Crofer improved by 3x (800C/3% water/4,000h)− Appears to minimize internal silica layer formation
• Improved ASR (800C/500h)− Button cell tests underway
• Oxidation resistance of type 430 vastly improved− Eliminated spall (800C/3% water/4,000h)
• Effectively makes 12 Cr alloys perform as 22 Cr
Improving Oxidation Resistance with Rare Earths
• Well established that small amounts RE improve oxidation resistance (RE: Ce, La, Y)
• Melt addition+Elements added during ingot production (single
manufacturing step)−Difficulty in melting (react with crucibles)−Surface concentration limited by solubility and diffusivity
• Surface treatments+Rare Earth concentrated where needed (at surface and
have most benefit)− “Extra” manufacturing step.? Long term effectiveness (as with any coating or surface
treatment)
Research Goal• Investigate rare earth surface treatment for improving
oxidation resistance of alloys for SOFC applications.• Two different surface treatments investigated
−Developed at NETL• Similar to pack cementation: coated with a powder mixture containing
CeO2 or CeN and halide activator followed by heating in a controlled atmosphere (900oC-12 hrs), after which residual “pack” coating is washed off the surface.
• Patent application filed with USPTO in September, 2005.• Applied to over 50 alloys of interest to FE.
−Described in a paper by P.Y. Hou and J. Stringer (H/S)• J. Electrochem Soc., Vol 134, No. 7, July 1987, pp. 1836-1849• Coupons heated to 200oC were coated with a cerium-nitrate slurry
(10w/o nitrate adjusted with HNO3 to pH=2), followed heating in air at 400oC to decompose to CeO2
Surface Treatments to Improve Oxidation• As part of NETL-Albany’s SOFC research effort, we
have utilized surface treatments to incorporate reactive elements (Ce, La, Pr) into the surface of metallic alloys for development of metallic interconnects.
