The aim of the project is to qualify an integrated material set and processing solution for selected metallic components of an advanced integrated stack block. As the integrated stack block is the ?engine? of the solid oxide fuel cell power system, the project will also support significant cost reductions, increased reliability, and improved performance of the LG Fuel Cell Systems Inc. (?LGFCS?) cell and stack technology to be included in the initial commercial product offering. In the proposed work an integrated material set, and processing solution will be developed using powder metals processing which has been proven to be an enabling technology capable of delivering net or near net shape components, as well as for creating compositions, microstructures, and properties that are otherwise unattainable. Several advanced manufacturing processes will be screened to select one or more that are most advantageous for the selected metallic components when produced at commercial volumes. This work will be accomplished through the integration of metallurgists and processing engineers from Carpenter Technology, with the product design and cost engineers from LGFCS. The expected outcome of the proposed work is an optimized material set and processing solution that will reduce the current cost.
