    Abstract: A silicon nitride sintered body has a composition consisting essentially of 85 to 94 % by weight β silicon nitride, 6 to 15 % by weight grain boundary phase consisting essentially of (i) at least two rare earth elements, wherein yttrium is considered a rare earth, and, optionally, strontium which, calculated as SrO, is 0-2 percent by weight of the total body, and (ii) at least two of Si, N, O and C, and an additive consisting essentially of a metal-carbon compound present in the amount of about 0.2 to 3.5 % by volume. The additive is substantially homogeneously dispersed within the sintered body. The sintered body has a density at least 95 % of theoretical and the ceramic has high strength and high toughness and is especially suited for industrial applications such as components for gas turbine and automotive engines. The sintered body has a microstructure wherein (i) the β silicon nitride grains are acicular and have an average grain width ranging from 0.5 to 1.5 νm, (ii) at least 25 % of the grains have width greater than 0.7 νm,, and at least 10 % of the grains have width greater than 1 νm, and (iii) no more than 5 % of grains have width greater than 3.5 νm and apparent aspect ratio greater than 5, with the proviso that the average aspect ratio is at least 1.8.

    Abstract: A fuel cell stack is based on solid electrolytes, such as the oxygen-ion conducting solid oxide fuel cells and the proton conducting ceramic or polymer membrane fuel cells. The fuel cell has a radial, coflow planar stack with an integral, internal manifold and tubular porous elements for controlling the rate and uniformity of the radial fuel and oxidant fluid flows. Such construction minimizes the extent of sealing that may be required and provides for easy manifolding of stack arrays. In addition, the fuel cell construction has the potential for high mass and volume specific power densities and low fabrication costs.
