Improving the contact resistance and high-temperature durability of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC)!
Cobalt-nickel alloy plating has good mechanical properties, durability, and heat resistance. [Composition ratio] Co 70wt%: Ni 30wt% each ±5wt% [Film thickness] ~3μm In examples where plating was applied to components of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC), when used at high temperatures around 800°C, the resistance value of conventional metal components typically increases. However, by applying cobalt-nickel alloy plating compared to untreated or nickel-plated components, a lower resistance value can be maintained.

Applications/Examples of results
【Application】Electrical and electronic, fuel cells, etc. 【Example of Achievements】In the case of plating components for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC), when used at high temperatures around 800°C, the resistance of typical metal components tends to increase. However, by applying cobalt-nickel alloy plating compared to untreated or nickel-plated components, a lower resistance can be maintained.
Detailed information
-
This is the result of the contact resistance test for test pieces coated with cobalt-nickel alloy after 1000 hours of heat resistance. Even after 1000 hours, the contact resistance remains low, indicating an improvement in durability.
