Embodiment
In order to make object of the present invention, technical scheme and advantage clearly understand, below in conjunction with drawings and Examples, the present invention is further elaborated.Should be appreciated that specific embodiment described herein only in order to explain the present invention, be not intended to limit the present invention.In addition, if below in described each execution mode of the present invention involved technical characteristic do not form conflict each other and just can mutually combine.
Metallic Interconnect Materials Used conventionally, uses and many relates to following alloy material:
Ni base alloy: there is very high heat-resisting and high temperature strength, and there is the spontaneous oxide-film NiO of oxidation in Ni-Cr base alloy, Cr 2o 3there is good oxidation resistance, but comparatively large (17-20 × 10 of the thermal coefficient of expansion of Ni base alloy -6/ DEG C), so when start battery and stopping because temperature distributing disproportionation generation thermal stress causes the destruction of dielectric film.
Cr base alloy: this alloy has good high-temperature corrosion resistance, antioxygenic property, thermal coefficient of expansion (9-10 × 10 -6/ DEG C) mate well with YSZ, the oxide layer that surface is formed is Cr 2o 3, conductivity is high.But when working temperature is higher than 700 DEG C, the diffusion rate of Cr obviously increases thus makes oxidation rate increase; In addition on the one hand, during high temperature, there is serious volatilization problems in Cr, and in application process, this alloy connector can cause the rapid decay of cell cathode performance, thus causes the failure of pile.Therefore, this kind of alloy is only limited to and uses at 700 DEG C, causes the limitation that it uses.
Fe base alloy: wide material sources, has good ductility, and be easy to processing, cheap for manufacturing cost, thermal coefficient of expansion mates with YSZ more than Ni base alloy.But there is the problem of non-oxidizability difference, therefore, generally add Cr in the alloy and cause it to form Cr at alloy surface 2o 3layer, solves the problem of oxidizability difference.Therefore, no matter from economy or practical standpoint, Fe base alloy is all the potential Metallic Interconnect Materials Used of most.
Under SOFC working temperature, Cr 2o 3main and O 2there is following reaction:
2Cr 2o 3+ 3O 2(g)=4CrO 3in (g) dry air (1)
2Cr 2o 3+ 3O 2(g)+4H 2o (g)=4CrO 2(OH) 2in (g) wet air (2)
In dry air, CrO 3g () is main volatile oxidn; When there is a certain amount of steam, CrO 2(OH) 2g () is main volatile oxidn, and will cause Cr 2o 3the rate of volatilization of film significantly increases.And the reaction of its negative electrode is generally electrochemical reaction and chemical reaction.Electrochemical reaction model is thought: Cr poisons usually relevant to cathodic polarization and by it owing to reducing at electrochemical cathode containing Cr gas phase, forms Cr by following reaction 2o 3phase:
CrO 3+3VO”=Cr 2O 3+3Oo x+6h’(3)
2CrO 2(OH) 2+3Vo”=Cr 2O 3+2H 2O+3Oo x+6h’(4)
The overvoltage of negative electrode increases with the increase of polarization current and the prolongation of polarization time.There is no the electrode that electric current flows through, Cr is in electrode interior random distribution, and the electrode having electric current to pass through, the deposition of Cr mainly concentrates on electrode/electrolyte interface district, and preferential deposition is at three-phase reaction interface place (TPB), embodies the feature of electrochemical reducting reaction.
Chemical model is thought: in cathodic polarization process, and LSM electrode surface will produce Mn 2+, it and Cr steam react by formula (5) and form Cr-Mn-O condensation nucleus.
CrO 2(OH) 2+Mn Mn’=Cr-Mn-O+H 2O(5)
These condensation nucleus further with Cr 6+reaction generates Cr 2o 3(Mn, Cr) 3o 4spinel, chemical reactions at the same time model indicates that Cr-Mn-O condensation nucleus is mobile on YSZ, is occurring Cr away from the position of TPB 2o 3phase.Cr 2o 3phase range of deposition extends to 500 μm from 40 ~ 50 μm, widely beyond TPB width (≤1 μm).When there is no polarization or anode polarization, the appearance of Cr deposition further demonstrates the correctness of Chemical Reaction Model, according to Chemical Reaction Model, Cr-Mn-O condensation nucleus is the principal element determining Cr deposition, and the existence of polarization advances the migration of deposit to TPB.
Cr Poisoning cathode is main relevant with the volatilization of Cr in alloy and the reaction mechanism of Cr, and the volatilization of structure to Cr therefore changing the composition regulation and control alloy in-situ growth oxide-film of alloy has very large inhibition.The lifting of the antioxygenic property of Cr alloy is must be obligato, but oxide layer must have the normal transmission of higher conductance guarantee electronics, add a certain amount of Al and Si in alloy and effectively can improve non-oxidizability, but under high temperature, alloy surface generates Al 2o 3and SiO 2conductance is lower, therefore, only has formation Cr 2o 3the alloy of oxide layer just possesses the condition becoming SOFC connector.Adding a small amount of Mn more in the alloy makes alloy surface form Cr 2o 3/ (Mn, Cr) 3o 4double layer oxide film effectively can reduce the volatilization of Cr.Add the elements such as La, Ti of trace also can suppress Cr to a certain extent volatilization with the structure changing oxide-film in the alloy.But these can not suppress volatilization and the Poisoning cathode of Cr completely.
Summary of the invention: the object of the invention is to provide a kind of metal connector alloy material having electrical resistance method negative electrode Cr and poison in Solid Oxide Fuel Cell operational environment, and this alloy material is:
Chemical composition is (unit is mass fraction):
Molybdenum (Mo) 2-2.5 mass fraction, manganese (Mn) 1-1.1 mass fraction, chromium (Cr) 16-17 mass fraction, zirconium (Zr) 0.1-0.12 mass fraction, titanium (Ti) 0.51-0.53 mass fraction, yttrium (Y) 0.018-0.019 mass fraction, lanthanum (La) 0.0049-0.0050 mass fraction, carbon (C) 0.0020-0.0025 mass fraction, phosphorus (P) 0.0094-0.0095 mass fraction, silicon (Si) 0.038-0.0039 mass fraction, sulphur (S) 0.00095-0.00099 mass parts, iron (Fe) 70-78 mass fraction.
The effect of above-mentioned element is according to as follows:
Fe, as matrix element, forms stable austenite structure, the more alloying element of solid solution.
The effect of Mo mainly adjusts the thermal coefficient of expansion of alloy, itself and other ceramic compositions of SOFC is matched, and improves high temperature resistant property.
The effect of Mn, Si mainly keeps the processing characteristics that alloy is good, but the content of Si can not more than 0.05%, if too much can form SiO 2oxide layer, causes the electric conductivity of connector sharply to reduce.And the effect of Mn also has at metal connector surface formation (Mn, Cr) 3o 4spinel, can hinder the outside volatilization of Cr.
Heavy alloyed high-temperature oxidation resistance and structure stability are mainly put forward in the effect of Cr, put forward heavy alloyed mechanical performance, and too much Cr can cause the performance of negative electrode to decay rapidly, therefore, consider, the limit content of Cr meets SOFC metal connector most 17% and requires.
Low-alloyed conductivity can fall in Ti, Zr.
Y, the thermal coefficient of expansion that La mainly can adjust alloy makes itself and YSZ match, also heavy alloyed high-temperature oxidation resistance can be carried, the more important thing is, this rare earth element can remove gas and impurity when alloy smelting as purifying agent, improve alloy purity, improve crystal boundary structure, play the Microalloying Effect of strengthening crystal boundary.
