[ 1 ] - Oxidation behavior and electrical Characteristics of used interconnects in solid oxide fuel cells at presence of Mn3O4 and MnFe2O4 coatings

In order to enhance the performance of interconnects which are used in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), a protective/conductive coating can be applied. In this research AISI 430 ferritic stainless steel was coated in a Mn-base pack mixture by pack cementation method. In order to evaluate the oxidation behavior, isothermal oxidation was accomplished for 200 h at 800 ºC. Electrical behavior was al...

[ 2 ] - تأثیر ضخامت پوسته Cr2O3 بر مقاومت الکتریکی فولاد AISI 430 پوشش داده شده مورد استفاده در سلولهای سوختی اکسید جامد

In order to increase the efficiency and working life of mettalic interconnects used in solid oxide fuel cells, protective coatings with high electrical conductivity are used. In this study, AISI 430 ferritic stainless steel was coated in a cobalt-base pack mixture by pack cementation. The effect of oxide thickness on the area specific resistance (ASR) was investigated by applying isothermal ox...

[ 3 ] - EVALUATION OFDISLOCATION STRUCTURE AND CRYSTALLITE SIZE IN WORN AL-SI ALLOY BY X-RAY DIFFRACTION

Abstract: powerful method for the characterization of microstructures of crystalline materials in terms of crystallite size anddislocation structures. In this paper the effect of the sliding on the microstructure of A356 in the as-cast and heattreated conditions are studied, The X-ray phase analysis shows that with increasing applied load, the dislocationdensity is increased, whereas the crysta...

[ 4 ] - AGGLOMERATION ASSESMENT OF NANO-SIZED ALUMINA POWDERS

Abstract: Nanoparticles exhibit a high reactivity and strong tendency towards agglomeration. In this study, aluminum oxide (alumina) nanoparticles were characterized by gas adsorption (BET), transmition electron microscopy (TEM) and photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS) techniques to assess the agglomeration of the particles. There is a good correlation between the BET and TEM measurements b...

[ 5 ] - PHASE TRANSFORMATION DURING WEAR OF AISI STAINLESS STEEL 316

Abstract: Austenitic stainless steels exhibit a low hardness and weak tribological properties. The wear behaviour of austenitic stainless steel AISI 316 was evaluated through the pin on disc tribological method. For investigating the effect of wear on the changes in microstructure and resistance to wear, optical microscopy and scanning electron microscope were used. The hardness of the worn...

[ 6 ] - Tribological behavior of sputter-deposited MoSX/Ni coatings

AbstractSputtered MoS2 coatings have been mostly used as a solid lubricant. In this investigation, MoSx/Ni composite coatings with Ni contents varying from 0 to 22 % were deposited onto steel substrate using a DC magnetron sputter process. The MoS2/Ni ratio in the coatings was controlled by sputtering the composite targets. The composition, microstructure, and mechanical properties of the...
