SEM/EDS of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell seal materials


EMSL Project ID
11991

Abstract

The purpose of proposal is to examine the surface topography and composition of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) seal assemblies. These assemblies have been produced and then tested. We want to determine where and how failure has occurred so that we might make improvements in the materials or processes.
