Mechanical performance of LaCrO3 doped with strontium and cobalt for SOFC interconnect

► For the first time we investigate the mechanical performance of La0.80Sr0.20Cr0.92Co0.08O3. ► Strength and hardness were measured. ► Deformation behavior at room and high temperatures was investigated (typical load × displacement curve). ► Microstructural aspects (grain size and fracture mode).
