HEATING DEVICE OF METALLIC INTERCONNECT FOR SOLID OXIDE FUEL CELL AND COATING METHOD OF THE INTERCONNECT USING THE SAME

摘要

Disclosed is a method for heating a metallic interconnect for a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) to 150˜300° C., which can minimize the thermal shock by reducing a temperature difference between the metallic interconnect and a coating material during a thermal plasma coating process on the metallic interconnect for the SOFC. Accordingly, through the disclosed method, a densified coating layer with minimized micro pores/cracks can be formed on the surface of the metallic interconnect. Thus, it is possible to reduce the loss in output performance during the operation of the SOFC at a high temperature, and to maintain the long-term durability and performance of the metallic interconnect.
