Protective coatings that resist oxide scale growth and decrease chromium evaporation are necessary to makestainless steel interconnect materials for long-term durable operation of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). Inthis study a layer of manganese was coated on the surface of AISI 441 ferritic stainless steel which is used insolid oxide fuel cells for interconnect applications. The oxidation beha...

We have identified important chemical reactions that control the fate of metal-contaminated estuarine sediments if they are left undisturbed (in situ) or if they are dredged. We combined information on the molecular bonding of metals in solids from X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) with thermodynamic and kinetic driving forces obtained from dissolved metal concentrations to deduce the dominan...

It is shown that during electron beam sintering in the forevacuum pressure region of powder components composite Al 2 O 3 -Cr ceramics, magnitude current flowing through sample depends both on percentage chromium and heating temperature sample. When a certain reached, process flow influenced by thermoelectric emission from surface. Along with ions plasma, noticeable contributes to neutralizing ...

The knowledge of Cr2O3 activity in slag is necessary to decarburize chromium-containing special steel while minimizing the oxidation loss chromium. In present study, firstly, phase relationship CaO–SiO2–Cr2O3 system was determined at 1573 K. Subsequently, activities two- and three-phase coexisting slags K were measured by equilibrating molten copper with oxide phases under a stream Ar + H2 CO2 ...
