Cel Objectives The general objectives of the project are: extension of the MCFC bipolar plate lifetime to 40,000 hrs compatible with 2nd generation technology development; development of alternatives for the crucial anode-side corrosion problem; assessment of alternative technical options, considering endurances and costs. Technical Approach The proposed work can be subdivided as follows: Selection of alloys Exposure tests will be performed on high-Al ferritic steels and high-Cr ferritic steels for the anode and cathode environments, respectively. This will result in the selection of an alloy for each environment and estimates for lifetimes, independently of other work-packages. Development of advanced coatings The stability and dissolution behaviour, and the lithiation behaviour of pure coating materials will be investigated. Expected Achievements and Exploitation The expected achievements are: selection of high-chromium ferritic stainless steels required for cathode-side endurance improvement from 25,000 to 40,000 hrs; selection of high-aluminium ferritic steels for 40,000 hrs endurance at anode conditions; characterization of properties and endurance behaviour of coating materials; development of bond coatings and protective coatings and their application techniques, for anode-side application; technical verification of selected options in small-scale MCFC; assessment of options considering technical viability, endurances and costs.
