    摘要: A material and an article comprising the material are presented. The material comprises a plurality of structural components. The structural components are configured in a series of increasing structural component size classes. The series has a base unit size class and at least one modular size class, and a component of the at least one modular size class comprises a plurality of components of the next smaller size class in the series. The structural components of the base unit size class comprise at least one bulk phase, and the structural components are bonded together at interfaces. Mechanical damage originating within a modular size class structural component is energetically favored to propagate in a distributed fashion among the plurality of structural components contained within the modular size class structural component.

    摘要: A method for the formation of a diffusion barrier layer on a surface of at least one fuel cell interconnect structure is described. The interconnect structure is usually formed from ferritic stainless steel, and includes chromium. The method includes the step of coating an austenite phase-stabilizer on the interconnect surface, and then heating the coated surface. The heat treatment transforms the microstructure of the surface region of the interconnect, from a substantially ferritic body-centered cubic (BCC) phase to a substantially austenitic face-centered cubic (FCC) phase. The diffusion rate of chromium through the FCC phase is relatively low. Thus, the formation of a thick layer of chromium oxide can be minimized, leading to better fuel cell performance. Related fuel cells and fuel cell stacks are also disclosed.
