Cr-poisoning prevention coating for SOFC/SOEC interconnects and current collectors

Co-Ni plating and MCF thermal-spray coating services for ferritic stainless steel interconnects, suppressing Cr evaporation and contact-resistance rise in SOFC/SOEC stacks.

Problem solved

Prevents cathode performance degradation caused by Cr evaporation from ferritic stainless steel interconnects at 700-800°C, maintaining low ASR and long stack life.

Application contexts

  • hydrogen
  • energy-conversion
  • industrial-equipment

Technical principle

Co-Ni alloy electroplating or MCF (MnCoFe-oxide) thermal spray coats the interconnect surface, forming a barrier that reduces Cr vapor pressure and stabilizes contact resistance over thousands of hours.

Typical use cases

  • Co-Ni coating of Crofer 22 APU/H interconnects for SOFC stacks
  • MCF thermal-spray coating for large-area interconnect plates
  • Custom coating of current collector meshes and porous metals
