Abstract: Disclosed is a method for coating a metallic interconnect for a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), the method including the steps of: carrying out pre-treatment for removing impurities adhered on a surface of the metallic interconnect; and carrying out pulse plating with cobalt as an anode, and the metallic interconnect as a cathode, in which an average current density (Ia) is set in a room-temperature cobalt plating solution, and a maximum current density (Ip), a current-on time (Ton) and a current-off time (Toff) are adjusted based on Ia=Ip×Ton/(Ton+Toff). Through the disclosed method, it is possible to obtain a metallic interconnect having a coating surface which has a high electrical conductivity and a high chrome volatilization inhibiting property and can minimize the occurrence of micro-cracks and micro-pores, thereby improving the performance of the SOFC.

Abstract: 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.
