Ni-20Cr alloys coated with (LaSr)CoO{sub 3} maintained their electrical resistance as low as 5m {Omega} cm{sup 2} for 12,000 h at 1,273 K in air, and showed their applicability for the separator of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). Energy dispersive X-ray analysis of the fracture surface of the coated Ni-20Cr alloys revealed that Sr diffused into the Cr{sub 2}O{sub 3} scale and precipitated as oxides in the Sr-Cr-O system. X-ray diffraction profile of the outer portion of the Cr{sub 2}O{sub 3} scale adjacent to the coating layer indicated SrCr{sub 2}O{sub 4} and Cr{sub 2}O{sub 3}. Electron diffraction and Energy dispersive X-ray analysis of the oxide particles inside the scale close to the alloy/scale interface indicated that the oxide is a rhombohedral crystal with the unit-cell dimension of a = 11.28, c = 36.44 and the atomic ratio of Sr/Cr = 3.165/2.
