YBCO coated conductors have been fabricated with a newly developed oxide-precursor-based MOD process. The precursor solution was synthesized with low cost YBCO powders as starting materials and YBCO coated conductors have been deposited on IBAD substrate ($CeO_2$/IBAD-YSZ/SS). YBCO coated conductor prepared by dip coating shows transport $I_c$ of 15A/cm-w at 77 K. Microstructural and crystallographic analyses indicate that YBCO layer was grown in epitaxy with substrate and exhibited well-developed dense microstructure. Also discussed are processing and analysis of YBCO coated conductor by slot-die web coating method. It was shown that this oxide-based MOD process provides a low cost route to coated conductor with high $J_c$.

Plasma spray processes for functional coatings of tubular SOFC ( Soild oxide Fuel Cell).consisting of air electrode, oxide electrolyte, an fuel electrode, are optimized by fully saturated fractional factorial testing. Material and electric characteristics of each coating are analtsed by the implementation of SEM and optical microscope for evaluating microstructure and porosity, X-ray diffraction method for investigating compositional change between raw powder and sprayed coating, and Van der Pauw method for measuring electrical conductivity. LSM ($La_{0.65}Sr_{0.35}MnO_3$air electrode and Ni-YSL fuel electrode coatings have porosities of around 23~30% sufficient for effective fuel and oxidant gas supply to electrochemical reaction interfaces and electrical conductivities of around 90 S/cm and 1000 S/cm, respectively, enough for acting as current collecting electrodes. YSZ($ZrO_2-8mol%Y_2O_3$) electrolyte film has a high ionic conductivities of 0.05~0.07 S/cm at $1000^{\circ}C$ in air atmosphere, but appears to be somewhat too porous to reduce the thickness. for enhancing the cell efficiency. A unit tubular SOFC has beem fabricated by the optimized plasma spray processes for each functional coating and the cell. Its electrochemical chracteristics are investigated by measuring voltage-current and power density with variation of operationg temperature, radio of fuel to air gas flowrates, and total gas flowrate of reactants.

Thermal Barrier Coating with Functional Gradient Materials (FGM-TBC) can play an important role to protect the parts from harmful environments in high temperatures such as oxidation, corrosion, and wear and to improve the efficiency of aircraft engine by lowering the surface temperature on turbine blade. FGM-TBC can increase the life spans of product and improve the operating properties. Therfore, in this study the evaluations of mechanical and thermal properties of FGM-TBC such as fatigue, oxidation and wear-resistance at high temperatures have been conducted. The samples of both the TBC with 2, 3, 5 layers (YSZ/NiCrAlY) to be produced by Air Plasma Spray method (APS) and the bulk TBC with 6 layers to be produced by Plasma Assisted Sintering method (PAS) were used. Furthermore, residual stress, bond strength, and thermal conductivity were evaluated. The average thickness of the APS was 500$\mu\textrm{m}$ to 600$\mu\textrm{m}$ and the average thickness of the PAS was 3mm. The hardness number of the top layer of APS was 750 Hv to 810Hv and that of PAS was 950 Hv to 1440Hv. The $ZrO_2$ coating layer of APS was composed of tetragonal structure after spraying as the result of XRD analysis. As shown in the results of the high temperature wear test, the 3 layer coating of APS had the best wear resistance at $800^{\circ}C$ and the 5 layer coating of APS had the best wear resistance at $600^{\circ}C$. But, these coatings had the tendency of the low-temperature softening at $300^{\circ}C$. The main mechanism of wear was the adhesive wear and the friction coefficient of coatings was increased as increasing the test temperatures. A s results of thermal conductivity test, the ${\Delta}T$ of the APS coating was increased as number of layer and the range of thermal conductivity of the PAS was $800^{\circ}C$ to $1000^{\circ}C$.

The electrolyte in the solid oxide fuel cell must be dense enough to avoid gas leakage and thin enough to reduce the ohmic resistance. In order to manufacture the thin and dense electrolyte layer, 8 mol% $Y_2O_3$ stabilized-$ZrO_2$ (8YSZ) electrolyte layers were coated on the porous tubular substrate by the novel vacuum slurry dip-coating process. The effects of the slurry concentration, presintering temperature, and vacuum pressure on the thickness and the gas permeability of the coated electrolyte layers have been examined in the vacuum slurry coating process. The vacuum-coated electrolyte layers showed very low gas permeabilities and had thin thicknesses. The single cell with the vacuum-coated electrolyte layer indicated a good performance of $495\;mW/cm^2$, 0.7 V at $700^{\circ}C$. The experimental results show that the vacuum dip-coating process is an effective method to fabricate dense thin film on the porous tubular substrate.

졸-겔법으로 제조된 La/sub 0.7/Pb/sub 0.3/MnO₃(LPM)박막의 기판 효과에 따른 저 자장 영역에서의 터널형 자기저항 효과에 대하여 연구하였다. 다결정 LPMO 박막은 SiO₂/Si(100) 기판과 그 위에 확산 방지막(diffusion barrier)으로 안정화 지르코니아(yttria-stabilized zirconia, YSZ) 중간층을 도입한 기판에 증착하였으며, 반면에 c-축 방향 성장을 갖는 박막의 경우 LaA1O₃(001) (LAO) 단결정 기판을 사용하였다. LPMO/LAO 박막에서의 rocking curve 측정 결과 full width half maximum (FWHM) 값은 0.32°값을 가짐을 알 수 있었다. 상온(300 K)에서 측정한 자기저항비(MR ratio) 값은 500 Oe리 외부자장을 인가시 LPMO/SiO₂/Si 박막의 경우 0.52%, LPMO/YSZ/SiO₂/Si 박막인 경우는 0.68% 그리고, LPMO/LAO의 경우에는 0.4%에도 미치지 못하는 값을 가졌다. 이때 MR최대값을 나타내는 peaks는 자기이력 곡선의 보자력 부근에서 나타남으로 그 두 결과가 잘 일치함을 보여 주고 있다. 이러한 저 자장 영역에서의 자기저항 값의 타이는 박막 시료의 기판 효과에 의한 grain boundary특성의 차이로부터 기인된다.

MOD Process using metal acetates or trifluoroacetates has been considered to be a strong candidate for a low cost fabrication process for coated conductor with high $J_e$. Recently, an economical MOI) process has been developed for coated conductor with high $J_c$ using low cost starting materials such as YBCO powders. YBCO thin films prepared by single coating on LAO substrate with this modified oxide-precursor solution gives transport $I_c$ of 100A/cm-w and the $J_c$ value of $2.9MA/cm^{2}$ (77K, Self-field). The YBCO coated conductor prepared by single coating with $CeO_2/IBAD-YSZ/SS$ tape gives transport $I_c$ of 50A/cm-w in 2cm. Characterization with XRD, SEM shows that the YBCO layers were epitaxially grown and exhibit well-developed dense micro-structures. This newly developed oxide-precursor based MOD process will provide a low cost route to coated conductor with high $J_c$.

$LaCrO_3$ series are the most common candidate materials for a ceramic interconnect for SOFC and the thermal expansion coefficient of these matches very well with that of YSZ electrolyte. In this study, characteristics of the coated films on the anode-support, which were formed by using $La_{0.8}Ca_{0.2}CrO_3$, $La_{0.8}Sr_{0.2}CrO_3$, $La_{0.8}Ca_{0.2}Co_{0.1}Cr_{0.9}O_3$ for ceramic interconnet for SOFC, were investigated. All powders showed single perovskite phase and the precursors had spherical shapes of $2{\mu}m{\sim}30{\mu}m$. According to SEM analysis, coated film of LCC on pretreated anode-support was more thicker, whereas the coated film on untreated anode-support was densely formed. As the results of electrical conductivity of anode-support coated with the ceramic interconnects, LCCC exhibited the most excellent electrical conductivity of 0.15S/cm at $750^{\circ}C$.

Functionally gradient NiCrAlY/$ZrO_2$-$Y_2$$O_3$ and NiCrAlY/$ZrO_2$- $CeO_2$-$Y_2$$O_3$ coatings were prepared by APS. The as-sprayed microstructure consisted of metal-rich and ceramic-rich regions, between which $Al_2$$O_3$-rich layers existed owing to the oxidation during APS. During oxidation between 900 and $1100^{\circ}C$ in air, the pre-existing $Al_2$$O_3$-rich scales grew, due mainly to the preferential reaction of Al with inwardly transporting oxygen along the heterogeneous phase boundaries. As the amount of ceramics in the coating increased, the oxidation resistance increased.

고체산화물 연료전지는 전해질의 양쪽에 cathode층과 anode층으로 구성되어 있다. 이러한 셀을 제작하기 위한 구성소재 코팅법으로는 EVD, CVD, sputter등의 기상공정과 screen printing, tape casting, dip coating등의 습식공정이 있다. 이중 현재 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 screen printing법은 코팅기판의 크기와 형태에 제한을 받아 원통형, 평관형에는 적용이 어렵다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서는 electrolyte 지지체 위에 전사법을 통해 연료극(NiO-YSZ), 공기극(LSCF-GDC) 코팅층의 두께 및 형상을 제어할 수 있었으며 button cell을 제작하여 실제 SOFC에 적용이 가능함을 확인하였다.

This study investigate changes in mechanical behaviors such as indentation load-displacement and hardness of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) using cycling of thermal shock test. Relatively dense and porous TBCs on nickel-based bondcoat/super alloy are prepared using different starting granules, 204C-NS and 204NS commercial powers, and the effect of double layers of 204C-NS on 204NS and 204NS on 204C-NS are investigated. The highest temperature applied during thermal shock test is $1100^{\circ}C$ and the maximum number of cycles is 1,200. The results indicate that bilayered TBC showed a relatively mechanically resistant property during thermal shock cycles and that the mechanical behavior is influenced by the microstructure of TBCs by exposure to high temperature during tests or different starting granules.
