Abstract
LaCoO3 and LaFeO3 based perovskites have been studied as model materials for oxygen permeable membranes. To avoid gas leakages it is of crucial importance to obtain dense membranes, hence the densification behavior in terms of temperature, stoichiometry (AB-ratio), presence of secondary phases and substituents (Ca and Sr) have been investigated. Only a narrow temperature window for the sintering is available and it is important to avoid the formation of secondary phases. The upper temperature to obtain high density materials is limited by a severe swelling. Mechanical properties such as bending strength and fracture toughness have been determined both at ambient- and elevated temperatures. Non elastic behaviour due to ferroelasticity is reported for pure LaFeO3, LaCoO3 and La0.8Ca0.2CoO3. The ferroelasticity is found to influence the behavior of the fracture toughness and fracture strength as a function of temperature. The electrical conductivity of pure LaFeO3 at 1000°C is determined in terms of partial pressure of oxygen. Cation diffusion is found to be rate controlling for the establishment of a time independent conductivity in the p-conductivity regime.
