Lanthanum Chromite (LaCrO3) has been the most common material used as interconnect in solid oxide fuel cells. Reducing the operating temperature around 800 ? C of cells to solid oxide fuel make possibilite the use of metallic interconnects as an alternative to ceramic LaCrO3. Metallic interconnects have advantages over ceramic interconnects such as high thermal conductivity, electricity, good ductility, low cost, good physical and mechanical properties. In this work evaluate the thermo-mechanical properties of the metallic substrate and coated metallic substrate with the ceramic LaCrO3 film via spray-pyrolysis, in order to demonstrate the feasibility of using this material as a component of a fuel cell solid oxide. The materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, oxidation behavior, mechanical strength, optical microscopy (OM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The X-ray diffraction proved the formation phase of the LaCrO3 on the metallic substrate and the identification of the phases formed after the oxidative test and mechanical strength at high temperature. The oxidation behavior showed the increased oxidation resistance of the coated metallic substrate. It was noted that the mechanical resistance to bending of the coated metallic substrate only increases at room temperature. The optical microscopy (OM) has provided an assessment of both the metallic substrate and the LaCrO3 film deposited on the metal substrate that, in comparison with the micrographs obtained from SEM. The SEM one proved the formation of Cr2O3 layer on the metallic substrate and stability of LaCrO3 film after oxidative test, it can also observe the displacement of the ceramic LaCrO3 film after of mechanical testing and mapping of the main elements as chromium, manganese, oxygen, lanthanum in samples after the thermo-mechanical tests. / As pilhas unit?rias de uma pilha a combust?vel de ?xido s?lido s?o separadas por meio de interconectores, que servem como contato el?trico entre as pilhas. A cromita de lant?nio (LaCrO3) tem sido o material mais utilizado como interconector nas pilhas a combust?vel de ?xido s?lido. A redu??o da temperatura de opera??o em torno de 800 ?C das pilhas a combust?vel de ?xido s?lido, tornou poss?vel o uso de interconectores met?licos como alternativa aos LaCrO3 cer?micos. Esses materiais apresentam vantagens em rela??o aos interconectores cer?micos tais como: alta condutividade t?rmica, el?trica, boa ductilidade, baixo custo, boas propriedades f?sicas e mec?nicas. Neste trabalho foram avaliadas as propriedades termomec?nicas do substrato met?lico e substrato met?lico recoberto com o filme de LaCrO3 via spray-pir?lise, com o objetivo de demonstrar a viabilidade da utiliza??o deste materiais como componente de uma pilha a combust?vel de ?xido s?lido. Os materiais foram caracterizados por meio de difra??o de raios-X, comportamento oxidativo, resist?ncia mec?nica, microscopia ?ptica e microscopia eletr?nica de varredura (MEV). A difra??o de raios-X comprovou a forma??o da fase LaCrO3 sobre o substrato met?lico e a identifica??o das fases formadas ap?s o ensaio oxidativo e resist?ncia mec?nica a alta temperatura.O comportamento oxidativo evidenciou o aumento da resist?ncia a oxida??o do substrato met?lico recoberto. Na resist?ncia mec?nica a flex?o do substrato met?lico recoberto, notou-se o aumento apenas na temperatura ambiente. A microscopia ?ptica (MO) fez uma avalia??o pr?via tanto do substrato met?lico e do filme de LaCrO3 recoberto sobre o substrato met?lico,que em compara??o com as micrografias obtidas por MEV. Com aux?lio do MEV comprovou a forma??o da camada de Cr2O3 sobre o substrato met?lico e a estabilidade do filme de LaCrO3 ap?s o ensaio oxidativo. Observando tamb?m o descolamento do filme de LaCrO3 ap?s ensaio mec?nico e a distribui??o dos principais elementos como: cromo, mangan?s, oxig?nio, lant?nio nas amostras que foram submetidas aos ensaios termo-mec?nicos

L’objectif de ces travaux de thèse était de développer un primaire d’adhésion stable, permettant l’adhérisation de tous types d’élastomères silicone sur une grande majorité de surfaces métalliques, et ce de façon reproductible. Dans un premier temps, une étude bibliographique détaillée des différentes formulations de primaire à base de silanes utilisées pour l’adhésion de tous types d’élastomères silicone (EVC, EVF et LSR) a été effectuée. Pour compléter la compréhension du système métal/primaire d’adhésion/élastomère silicone étudié, trois formulations de primaire, dont une formulation « maison », et trois élastomères silicone ont été analysés et leurs compositions, ainsi que leurs propriétés en adhésion, ont été déterminées. La caractérisation de différentes résines silicone composant la formulation « maison » de primaire a également été effectuée. Cette dernière a ensuite été optimisée en synthétisant de nouvelles résines silicone, en ajustant les taux de chaque composant et en changeant le type de catalyseur. Dans un second temps, la caractérisation physico-chimique des primaires d’adhésion enduits sur la surface d’un métal (aluminium) a été effectuée. La topologie des films de primaire (épaisseur, rugosité et uniformité) et leurs propriétés de mouillage ont été déterminées. Ces résultats ont été complétés par la caractérisation des faciès de rupture des pièces composites métal/primaire/élastomère silicone. À la suite de ces différentes analyses complémentaires, le paramètre gouvernant la sélectivité d’un primaire d’adhésion pour un grade d’EVC a été isolé. Une courbe modèle permettant la formulation d’un primaire polyvalent a été proposée et validée par la formulation d’un primaire d’adhésion pouvant adhérer les différents grades d’EVC sélectionnés pour cette étude. / This PhD work aimed at developing a stable primer of adhesion, allowing the bonding of all types of silicone elastomers onto a vast majority of metallic surfaces, in a reproducible way. In a first approach, a detailed bibliographic study was performed on the different primer based-silane formulations used for the adhesion of any types of silicone elastomers (HCR, RTV and LSR). To better understand the metal/primer/silicone elastomer system, three primer formulations, including a homemade formulation, and three silicone elastomers were analyzed and their compositions, and adhesive properties, were determined. The characterization of different silicone resins entering in the composition of the homemade primer formulation was also carried out. The latter was optimized by synthetizing new silicone resins, by adjusting the content of each component and by changing the type of catalyst. In a second step, the characterization of the physical chemistry of the primer formulations coated on a metal surface (aluminum) was performed. The topology of the primer films (thickness, roughness and uniformity) and their wettability were determined. These information were completed by the characterization of fracture profiles of the composite part metal/primer/silicone elastomer. Following these additional analyses, the parameter governing the selectivity of a primer formulation for a grade of HCR was isolated and a model curve for the formulation of a polyvalent primer was proposed. This curve was validated by the formulation of a primer which can bond the different grades of HCR selected for this study.
