This paper studies the nonlinear behavior of a glass-ceramic seal used in planar solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). To this end, a viscoelastic damage model has been developed that can capture the nonlinear material response due to both progressive damage in the glass-ceramic material and viscous flow of the residual glass in this material. The model has been implemented in the MSC MARC finite element code, and its validation has been carried out using the experimental relaxation test data obtained for this material at 700°C, 750°C, and 800°C. Finally, it has been applied to the simulation of a SOFC stack under thermal cycling conditions. The areas of potential damage have been predicted.

ABSTRACTGlass-ceramic matrices based on zirconolite (CaZrTi2O7) are being considered for specific conditioning of plutonium or the minor actinides. The actinides are distributed throughout the zirconolite crystals and the residual glass phase. Since zirconolite alteration is extremely limited, however, actinide release from the glass-ceramic material is mainly attributable to alteration of the residual glass. Zirconolite glass-ceramic specimens and specimens corresponding to the residual glass phase alone were therefore altered under hydrothermal conditions (150°C) and under initial rate conditions (100°C) to compare their kinetic behavior and estimate the effect of the crystals on material alteration. Under hydrothermal conditions, alteration occurred during the first few days: SEM observations showed greater alteration of the glass-ceramic material due to a phenomenon of preferential glass alteration around the zirconolite crystals; after three days the alteration rate had considerably diminished and both specimens exhibited similar behavior. Under initial rate conditions the initial rates differed due to a variation in the reactive surface area of the glass-ceramic.

In this article, a starting mixture for the preparation of glass-ceramic material for radioactive waste (RW), consisting of 85-95 mass % basanite and 5-15 mass % oxides of elements in I-VIII group of the Periodical table of elements imitating RW, is proposed. The glass-ceramic material is obtained by melting the starting mixture in air at 1450?C for 1 hour and by further crystallization of the melts at 950?C for 30 minutes. It has been noticed that the texture of the glass-ceramic material is microgranular. The main mineral is pyroxene, while a mixture phases are magnetite, hematite and residual glass. It was shown that the RW elements are fixed in the pyroxene and partly in the admixture phases.

the controlled crystallization and characterization of Li2O-Al2O3-SiO2-P2O5 glass ceramic by XRD and numerical calculus. The results indicate that the controlled model of crystallization is the process though controlling the growing size of crystallization grain by forming residual glass phase with high melting point, and proper high-melting supplement such as Y2O3、Al2O3 can reduce crystal grain size at the same time that does not change nucleation quantity. At last, transparent glass-ceramic with little crystal grain can be obtained by the theorizing analytic model.

The use of Si3N4, alloys for high temperature, high stress structural applications has prompted numerous studies of the oxynitride glasses which exist as intergranular phases in their microstructures. Oxynitride glasses have been investigated recently in their bulk form in order to understand their crystallization behavior for subsequent Si3N4 applications and to investigate their worth as glass-ceramic precursors. This research investigates the crystallization sequence of a glass having a normalized composition of Y26Si30Al11 ON11 and lying in the A1N-Y2O3-SiO2 section of the Y-Si-Al-O-N system. Such glasses exist as intergranular phases in the technologically important Y2O3/Al2O3-fluxed Si3N4 alloys.
