Abstract
AbstractDense and well-adhered CuMn1.8O4 spinel oxide coatings were successfully deposited on Crofer 22 APU stainless steel substrates by a cost effective electrophoretic deposition technique. Coated and uncoated Crofer substrates were oxidized for 120 hours in air at 800°C. A diffusion model was developed for the oxidation of the coated alloys, which predicted para-linear oxidation kinetics. The effective diffusivities in the coating and in the thermally grown oxide were calculated to be 2×10-15 cm2/s and 2.5×10-16 cm2/s respectively, at 800°C. Area specific resistances (ASR) of thermally cycled samples at 800°C did not show a significant difference compared to the isothermally oxidized sample for the same total oxidation time, suggesting good coating adherence. The ASR of the coated alloys is projected to be around 3.8×10-2Ωcm2 after 50000 at 800°C in air, making them excellent candidates for interconnect applications for solid oxide fuel cells operated at 800°C or lower.
