Abstract

In an attempt to reduce the oxidation and Cr evaporation rates of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) interconnect, Cu-Fe coating was developed on the AISI 430 ferritic stainless steel substrate by a pulsed current electrodeposition method. Effects of pulse frequency on properties and performance of the fabricated coating were investigated. Results show that Cu-Fe alloy was sucessfully fabricated using pulse deposition methods. The variation of pulsed frequency during pulse current deposition strongly influence the coating morphology and its composition. The increase of pulse frequency tend to increase the Cu-Fe grain size. Moreover, the amount of Cu particles decreases with the increase of pulse frequency.
