The R&D work is the next step towards the production of the domestic SOFC stacks for combined heat and power (CHP) system application. The application and implementation of the proposed titanium-based alloy allows: - completely avoid the problem of chromium poisoning of SOFC components, which is the cause of degradation of the electrical properties of individual SOFC and the power generation system as a whole. This should increase the reliable and uninterrupted operation period of the entire power generation system based on SOFC; - the heat-resistant titanium alloy proposed by the authors of the project has almost in twice lower the value of density compared to the stainless steel Crofer 22 APU. The SOFC stacks assembled with interconnects based on the titanium alloy should allow to reduce the total weight of the power generation system up to 30%, which is extremely promising for the development of lightweight power genaration systems for mobile use in both private households and the military sector; - avoiding a complex and expensive technological operations in the manufacturing process of interconnects associated with Crofer 22 APU - deposition of protective coatings. popup.nrat_date 2025-01-15 Close
