This article presents the electrolytic deposition of thin Rare Earth coatings on Crofer 22 APU stainless steel substrates for high temperature applications. The deposition of coatings based on yttrium, gadolinium, lanthanum, and cerium nitrates is discussed. The high temperature corrosion properties of surface-modified steels were examined using thermogravimetry and electrical resistivity measurements. The results showed that the use of RE element oxide layers reduced the growth of oxide scale, and coatings based on Y and Gd oxides exhibited the best corrosion protection properties. Electrical measurements showed that the surface-modified samples had lower resistance than the uncoated sample.
This article presents electrolytic deposition of thin Rare Earth (RE) coatings on Crofer 22 APU stainless steel substrates for high temperature applications, such as interconnects in solid oxide cell stacks. The deposition of coatings based on yttrium-, gadolinium-, lanthanum-, and cerium nitrates is discussed. The high temperature corrosion properties of surface-modified steels were examined using thermogravimetry and electrical resistivity measurements. Coatings and oxide microstructures were examined by XRD and SEM of surfaces and cross-sections. The results showed that the use of the RE element oxide layers reduced the growth of oxide scale, as evidenced by lower weight gain. The layers based on Y- and Gd-oxides showed the best corrosion protection properties. The electrical measurements showed that the surface-modified samples had lower resistance than the uncoated sample. (c) 2022 The Author(s).
