Based on the fact that titanium and titanium alloys have poor fretting fatigue resistance and poor tribological properties, it is necessary to apply some surface engineering methods in order to increase the exploitation characteristics of these materials. One may either implement some surface treatment technologies or even deposit overlay coatings by thermal spraying.
The present study is focused on the achieved properties of the ceramic coatings (Al2O3 + 13 wt.% TiO2) deposited onto a titanium substrate using high velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) and plasma spraying (APS) respectively.
The effect of the deposition method on the microstructure, phase constituents, and mechanical properties of the ceramic coatings was investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction technique (XRD) and nanoindentation tests. The sliding wear performances of the Al2O3–TiO2 coatings were tested using a pin on disk wear tester.
An energy economy with high share of renewable but volatile energy sources is dependent on storage strategies in order to ensure sufficient energy delivery in periods of e.g. low wind and/or low solar radiation. Hydrogen as environmental friendly energy carrier is thought to be an appropriate solution for large scale energy storage. In 2011 the NOW (national organisation for hydrogen in Germany) calculated the demand for hydrogen energy systems as positive (0.8 GW to 5.25 GW) and negative supply for varying power demand (0.68 to 4.3 GW) for the German energy economy in 2025. Due to its dynamic behaviour on load changes polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) as well as water electrolyser systems (PEMEL) can play a significant role for large scale hydrogen based storage systems. In this work a novel design concept for modular fuel cell and electrolyser stacks is presented with single cells in pockets surrounded by a hydraulic medium. This hydraulic medium introduces necessary compression forces on the membrane electrode assembly (MEA) of each cell within a stack. Furthermore, ideal stack cooling is achieved by this medium. Due to its modularity and scalability the modular stack design with hydraulic compression meets the requirements for large PEMFC as well as PEMEL units. Small scale prototypes presented in this work illustrate the potential of this design concept.
In this study, a novel design concept for PEMFC (polymer electrolytemembrane fuel cell) stacks is presented with singlecells inserted in pockets surrounded by a hydraulic medium. Thehydraulic pressure introduces necessary compression forces to themembrane electrode assembly of each cell within a stack. Moreover, homogeneous cell cooling is achieved by this medium. First,prototypes presented in this work indicate that, upscaling of cells for the novelstack design is possible without significantperformancelosses. Due to its modularity and scalability, this stackdesign meets the requirements for large PEMFC units.
