Abstract

This work investigates the critical stress and morphological evolutions which occur during the high-temperature oxidation of metallic alloys for SOFC interconnects. Two mechanisms of stress generation are considered related to (1) the local volume change associated with the direct oxidation of the metal and to (2) a secondary oxidation process within grain boundaries. A specific formulation is developed to include the influence of the stress state at the metal-oxide interface on the local oxidation kinetics. The oxidation of a chromia-forming SOFC interconnect metallic alloy is simulated and stress and morphological evolutions are investigated.
