Abstract
AbstractThe mechanical behavior of un‐doped and 1–10 wt.% aluminum titanate doped NiO‐YSZ anodes was evaluated in the oxidized and reduced state of the material. Sample bars 25 × 5 × 2 mm were fabricated and tested in a three‐point bending apparatus and statistical analyzes of the collected data were performed. A remarkable enhancement of the flexural strength was found both for the reduced and oxidized state of the material when compared to the un‐doped samples. In both cases, the development of a secondary phase was observed proportional to the doping amount of aluminum titanate. Morphological analysis along with preliminary phase identification and suspected mechanisms for strength enhancement are presented and discussed.
