[Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to an iron-based alloy for molten carbonate fuel cells that has excellent corrosion resistance. [Prior Art] FIG. 2 shows the configuration of a molten carbonate fuel cell. A cathode electrode and an anode electrode are located on either side of an electrolyte plate that holds carbonate as an electrolyte. Air and carbon dioxide gas are supplied to the cathode side, and hydrogen and carbon dioxide gas are supplied to the anode side to generate electricity. A separator is provided outside each electrode to form a flow path for these gases and to collect generated electricity. As shown in Fuji Jiho 55 (1982) p600-604, SUS316 has been mainly used as this separator.
However, high-temperature molten carbonate is extremely corrosive, and SUS316 cannot currently withstand it. In contrast, the Journal of Electrochemical Society
Electrochemical Society) 125 (1978) p1799~
As shown in 1800, aluminum coating is effective for corrosion prevention. However, the protective film Al 2 O 3 produced by aluminum coating is
High electrical resistance. Therefore, if the entire surface of the separator is coated with aluminum, it is expected that the internal resistance of the battery will increase and the battery performance will deteriorate. Therefore, a highly corrosion-resistant separator that does not form Al 2 O 3 as a protective film is required. In addition, as described in JP-A-57-149458, Fe-Cr
An alloy with excellent corrosion resistance against molten sodium polysulfide was created by adding aluminum and yttrium to the -Ni alloy. However, the above alloy has improved corrosion resistance against molten sodium polysulfide (200-400°C), but no consideration has been given to corrosion resistance against molten carbonate (650-750°C). [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Among the above-mentioned techniques, the method of improving corrosion resistance using aluminum coating as shown in the Journal of Electrochemical Society has the disadvantage that the internal resistance of the battery may increase due to Al 2 O 3 in the corrosion-resistant protective coating. Conceivable. In addition, among the above technologies, corrosion resistant alloy (Fe-Cr-Ni-
Al-Y) has not been investigated for corrosion resistance against molten carbonate. The present invention provides an iron base for molten carbonate fuel cells that allows the alloy itself to have corrosion resistance against molten carbonate without applying a corrosion-resistant protective coating that increases electrical resistance, and has good workability and weldability. The purpose is to provide alloys. [Means for Solving the Problems] The iron-based alloy for molten carbonate fuel cells of the present invention contains carbon (C): 0.15% or less, silicon (Si): 1% or less, and manganese (Mn): Contains 2% or less, nickel (Ni): 15-35%, chromium (Cr): 15-35%, aluminum (Al): 0.1-0.9%,
Yttrium (Y), lanthanum (La), cerium (Ce), scandium (Sc), gadolinium (Gd)
and 0.5% of one of zirconium (Zr)
It is characterized by containing the following: with the remainder consisting of iron (Fe) and unavoidable impurities. [Function] The reason why the constituent components of the iron-based alloy for molten carbonate fuel cells according to the present invention are limited as described above will be explained below. Carbon is an austenite-forming element,
If the content exceeds 0.15%, hot workability and oxidation resistance will deteriorate, so the content was set to 0.15% or less. Silicon has the effect of improving high-temperature strength and oxidation resistance, but if present in excess, it impedes weldability and workability, so the upper limit was set at 1%. Manganese (Mn) is an austenite-forming element, but it slightly deteriorates oxidation resistance, so a lower amount is preferable. The content was set to the level that is contained in ordinary stainless steel steel, and was set at 2% or less. Nickel (Ni) is one of the basic elements of austenitic stainless steels. The lower limit was set at 15% to maintain the austenite structure. On the other hand, 35
% is not preferable because it deteriorates sulfidation resistance. Chromium (Cr) is a basic component for molten carbonate resistance and requires a minimum of 15%, but the effect will be saturated even if it is added in excess of 35%. Next, the content of aluminum (Al) will be described. As shown in Figure 1, aluminum is effective in improving molten carbonate resistance when it is added at 1% or more, but when added alone at 0.9% or less, molten carbonate resistance may deteriorate. I understand. Therefore, in order to improve the molten carbonate resistance, it is sufficient to increase the aluminum content to 1% or more, but this will deteriorate the workability and weldability of the alloy. By the way, as shown in Figure 1, 0.5% or less of one of yttrium (Y), lanthanum (La), cerium (Ce), scandium (Sc), gadolinium (Gd), and zirconium (Zr) is added. It was found that when aluminum was added at the same time, the molten carbonate resistance was good even when the aluminum content was 0.1% to 0.9%. Based on this knowledge, in the present invention, the aluminum content is set to 0.1% to 0.9% in order to improve molten carbonate resistance without deteriorating workability or weldability. Yttrium (Y), lanthanum (La), cerium (Ce), scandium (Sc), zirconium (Zr) and gadolinium (Gd) are one of them.
As mentioned above, when seeds are added, they act in combination with aluminum (Al) and are effective in improving molten carbonate resistance. However, if the content exceeds 0.5%, processability decreases, so the upper limit was set at 0.5%. [Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Figure 1 shows the test materials of each No. shown in Table 1 heated to 750°C.
This table shows the results of tests conducted by applying molten carbonate under the corrosion conditions shown in Table 2.

[Table] When aluminum (Al) is added as a single additive, the corrosion resistance against molten carbonate decreases when the aluminum content is less than 1.0%. In addition, it is currently mainly used as a separator material for molten carbonate fuel cells.
SUS316L (sample material No. 5) and SUS310S (sample material No.
Comparative material No. 6) with zero aluminum content has corrosion resistance.
Since the thinning thickness is almost the same as that of No. 1, it seems that the corrosion resistance is not affected by the amount of nickel within the range of 20 to 30%. On the other hand, the corrosion resistance of the present invention materials (No. 4, No. 7 to No. 11) indicated by black circles against molten carbonate is as follows:
Although the aluminum (Al) content is only about 0.4%, the improvement is the same as when the aluminum content is 1% or more. That is,
When adding 1% or less aluminum to a Fe-Cr-Ni base alloy to improve molten carbon salt resistance, yttrium (Y), lanthanum (La), cerium (Ce), scandium (Sc), and gadolinium ( It can be seen that simultaneous addition of Gd) or zirconium (Zr) is effective. FIG. 3 shows the results of a corrosion test conducted by immersing the specimen in molten carbonate under the conditions shown in Table 2. In the material of the present invention, the progress of corrosion due to molten carbonate is suppressed, and the corrosion resistance is improved. According to the cross-sectional photograph of the material tested for 100 hours during the test and the analysis results of the inner layer of the corroded layer, the formed corroded layer consists of an inner layer and an outer layer, the outer layer is made of Fe-based oxide, and the inner layer is made of Cr. Or it is made of Fe-based oxide. Also, aluminum (Al 2 O 3
No concentrated layer of Al 2 O 3 was observed, and no stable protective film of Al 2 O 3 was formed. [Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide an iron-based alloy for molten carbonate fuel cells that has good corrosion resistance against molten carbonate, so it is suitable for separators, current collectors, etc. for molten carbonate fuel cells. If used, the life of the plant can be extended.
