摘要
Porous metal supports for SOFC applications were produced via conventional powder metallurgy routes - tape casting and high-pressure injection moulding. The supports were sintered in vacuum at different vacuum levels and temperatures. Commercially accessible low-cost stainless steel 430L powder was chosen as source material. The relations between the vacuum sintering temperature and the supports properties were studied. The density and the open porosity distribution of sintered supports were determined by Archimedes' method, Optical Image Analysis and Hg-porosimetry. The microstructure and the stainless steel grain surface composition evolution were investigated by scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry. direct ceramic inkjet printing (DCIJP) was employed as coating technology for depositing anode (NiO/GDC) and electrolyte GDC coatings. Suspension anode and electrolyte inks were developed in-house and the printing procedure was optimized to produce uniform coatings with thicknesses below 15 μm. The analyses confirmed that the as-produced substrates were suitable to support DCIJP deposited SOFC functional coatings. © 2015 The Author(s).
