Extract

The corrosion behavior of aluminized Type 310S stainless steel (SS) in the wet seal of molten carbonate fuel cells was investigated. Coupons of Type 310S SS were aluminized by two different aluminizing methods: thermal spray and slurry-coating. In both types of samples Fe and Cr diffused readily into the Al layer at 650 °C. At first this interdiffusion is limited to the interfacial area. With time, Fe and Cr aluminides precipitate in the Al layer. The slurry-coated layer contains a higher concentration of FeAl and Fe3Al than does the thermal spray layer. Consequently, the slurry-coated layer also displays a greater degree of corrosion than the thermal spray layer.
