  • Process for producing a solid oxide fuel cell by depositing an electrically conductive and gas permeable layer on a porous support substrate
    Patent number: 10320019
    Abstract: A process for depositing an electrically conductive, preferably perovskitic layer uses a pulsed sputtering process. The layer has a low diffusivity for the elements in the iron group and is especially suitable for use in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). An assembly of the electrically conductive ceramic layer on a porous support substrate is also provided.
    Type: Grant

  • ARC EVAPORATION COATING SOURCE HAVING A PERMANENT MAGNET
    Publication number: 20160099134
    Abstract: An arc evaporation coating source includes a target made of a coating material to be vapor-deposited, a ferromagnetic yoke for influencing the vapor deposition of the coating material to be vapor-deposited and at least one permanent-magnetic body for influencing the vapor deposition of the coating material to be vapor-deposited. The ferromagnetic yoke is disposed in contact with the target. The permanent-magnetic body is fastened to the target by the ferromagnetic yoke.

  • COATING SOURCE AND PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION THEREOF
    Publication number: 20130199929
    Abstract: A coating source for physical vapor deposition has at least one component, which has been produced from at least one pulverulent starting material in a powder metallurgy production process and at least one ferromagnetic region embedded in the component. The at least one ferromagnetic region, is introduced into the component and fixedly connected to the component during the powder metallurgy production process.

  • POROUS SUPPORT SUBSTRATE WITH AN ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE CERAMIC LAYER
    Publication number: 20120171464
    Abstract: An electrically conductive ceramic layer is deposited on a porous body. The porous body is formed of sintered Fe-based alloy grains and has a density of 40 to 70% of its theoretical density. The electrically conductive deposition layer preferably has a perovskitic structure and it is formed by a pulsed sputtering process. The layer has a low diffusivity for the elements in the iron group and is especially suitable for use in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC).
