Title: Corrosion resistance of functionally graded TiN/Ti coatings for proton exchange membrane fuel cells

Abstract

Bipolar Plates (BPP) are important components of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) stacks. In the development of innovative fuel cell designs, it is advantageous to use aluminum for these applications, however, this material lacks the necessary corrosion resistance. Since the performance of PEMFC stacks depends on BPP properties, in particular, corrosion resistance, depositing titanium nitride (TiN) thin films onto aluminum substrates may improve their efficiency and durability. Present work focuses on improving corrosion resistance and hydrophobicity of TiN/Ti by using N graded films deposited onto aluminum substrates (AA-1100) by grid-assisted magnetron sputtering (GAMS). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) with potentiodynamic and potentiostatic polarization are used to investigate the performance of the substrate/film system at room temperature and 70 oC, thus simulating a prototypic PEMFC electrolyte environment. Electrochemical test results showed that graded TiN films improved corrosion resistance when compared with both the homogeneous films and the AA1100 uncoated substrate. Furthermore, contact angle results reveal improved hydrophobicity for both homogeneous and graded TiN coatings when compared with the AA1100 substrate.

Corrosion behaviour of magnesium alloys coated with TiN by cathodic arc deposition in NaCl and Na{sub 2}SO{sub 4} solutions

Journal Article Altun, Hikmet; Sinici, Hakan - Materials Characterization

Magnesium-based light-metal alloys belong to a class of structural materials with increasing industrial attention. Magnesium alloys show the lowest density among the engineering metallic materials, low cost and large availability. However, the limitations according to mechanical strength and the low corrosion resistance restrict their practical application. In this study, TiN was coated on magnesium-based AZ91 magnesium-aluminium-zinc alloy using cathodic arc PVD process. The corrosion behaviours of uncoated and coated magnesium alloys in 1% NaCl, 3% NaCl and 3% Na{sub 2}SO{sub 4} solutions and the influence of the coatings on the corrosion behaviour of the substrate were investigated utilizing potentiodynamic polarizationmore »« less

Corrosion Behavior of Titanium Grade 7 in Fluoride-Containing NaCl Brines

Conference NA,

Titanium Grade 7 (UNS R52400) is a titanium-based alloy with 0.12-0.25% Pd. The addition of the small amount of palladium is to ennoble the corrosion potential of Ti, thus improving the corrosion resistance of titanium in reducing environments. In most aqueous environments, Ti and Ti alloys demonstrate excellent corrosion resistance due to the protective oxide film that forms spontaneously and remains stable on the surface. However, Ti and Ti alloys are susceptible to corrosion in fluoride-containing environments due to the formation of complexes such as TiF{sub 6}{sup 2-} and TiF{sub 6}{sup 3-}, which are stable and soluble in electrolyte solutions.more »« less

Improved container electrode coatings for Na/S battery systems. Final report

Technical Report Hunt, T

Current sodium sulfur (Na/S) battery systems utilize the fast ion conducting properties of sodium beta{double_prime}-alumina electrolyte (BASE) to create high energy density sodium-sulfur electrochemical cells which can be used as components of secondary batteries. Since the days when these cells were invented at the Ford Motor Company Scientific Laboratory by J.T. Kummer and N. Weber, problems with container electrode corrosion have troubled the Na/S systems that have been developed in the many laboratories. In an unpublished investigation carried out at the Ford Motor Company laboratory, it was shown that titanium nitride films sputter deposited onto aluminum substrates under the appropriatemore »« less

SnO2:F Coated Ferritic Stainless Steels for PEM Fuel Cell Bipolar Plates

Journal Article Wang, H; Turner, J - Journal of Power Sources

Ferrite stainless steels (AISI441, AISI444, and AISI446) were successfully coated with 0.6 {micro}m thick SnO{sub 2}:F by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition and investigated in simulated PEMFC environments. The results showed that a SnO{sub 2}:F coating enhanced the corrosion resistance of the alloys in PEMFC environments, though the substrate steel has a significant influence on the behavior of the coating. ICP results from the testing solutions indicated that fresh AISI441 had the highest dissolution rates in both environments, and coating with SnO2:F significantly reduced the dissolution. Coating AISI444 also improved the corrosion resistance. Coating AISI446 steel further improved the already excellentmore »« less

Microstructure and corrosion resistance of nanocrystalline TiZrN films on AISI 304 stainless steel substrate

Journal Article Lin, Yu-Wei; Huang, Jia-Hong; Yu, Ge-Ping - Journal of Vacuum Science and Technology. A, International Journal Devoted to Vacuum, Surfaces, and Films

This study investigated the microstructure and properties of nanocrystalline TiZrN films on AISI 304 stainless steel substrate. TiZrN films were prepared by reactive magnetron sputtering based on the previous optimum coating conditions (substrate temperature, system pressure, nitrogen flow, etc.) for TiN and ZrN thin films. The composition ratio of TiZrN coatings were adjusted by changing the Zr target power, while keeping the Ti target power constant. Experiments were conduced to find the optimum composition with desired properties. The ratio of TiZrN composition was analyzed by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Rutherford backscattering spectrometer. In terms of phase formation, there were twomore »« less
