    Electrical contact pastes of composition (La 0.90Sr 0.10) 0.98MnO 3 + δ (LSM-10) formed strong bonds (∼3 MPa) to (Co,Mn) 3O 4 spinel-coated Crofer 22 APU ferritic steel coupons when exposed to alternating flows of air and nitrogen (10 ppm O 2) at 900 °C for 2 h or longer. When held at 900 °C in air only, bond strengths were negligible. Substantial bonds could also be created between LSM-10 contact paste and (La 0.80Sr 0.20) 0.98MnO 3 + δ (LSM-20) porous cathodes by processing in alternating air and nitrogen, without simultaneous densification of the cathode. Enhanced sintering of LSM-10 is attributed to transients in the defect structure induced by oxygen partial pressure changes.
