This paper outlines the structure and properties of a unique compression sealing material that is entirely free of any organic component which has been giving excellent sealing in SOFC service for a number of years. The paper also discusses a new material that combines the advantages of a compression seal with that of a glass seal to provide a compression sealing material needing as little as 0.1 MPa surface stress in order to achieve excellent levels of tightness.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
