E-BRITE alloy is a high purity ferritic stainless steel which combines excellent resistance to corrosion and oxidation with good fabrication characteristics. Vacuum melting techniques control chemical composition to tight tolerances resulting in optimum corrosion resistance and ductility. Careful processing and quality assurance maintain the chemical and physical integrity of E-BRITE alloy from ingot to finished mill product forms.

PLANAR SOLID OXIDE FUEL CELLS
Fuel cells are an emerging power generation technology which produce electricity directly from the chemical reaction of a fuel gas with an oxidizer. Fuel cells can be made small and efficient, which makes them attractive from a distributed power generation standpoint. Planar solid oxide fuel cells (PSOFC's) are fabricated primarily from ceramic components. Recent designs incorporate a metallic interconnect as a way to reduce cost. The interconnect collects the electrical output of the cell and also serves as a gas tight seal with adjacent ceramic components to separate the fuel and oxidizer gas streams.
