Development of high-Cr steels with structured porosity for SOE/FC applications with high durability under thermo-oxidomechanical loading

Goals

Develop high-chromium, porosity-structured steel substrates and choose the associated diffusion barrier based on a rational material selection approach and elucidation of degradation mechanisms under thermomechanical loading to maximize the lifetime of SOE/FC systems.

Innovations

Application of a rational material selection method to such a system
New type of steel-architecture substrate and suitable layers
