Abstract: The structural integrity of the sealant is critical for the reliability of solid oxide cells (SOCs) stacks. In this study, elastic modulus (E), hardness (H) and fracture toughness (KIC) of a rapid crystallizing glass of BaO–CaO–SiO2 system termed “sealant G” are reported as determined using an indentation test method at room temperature. A wide range of indentation loads (1 mN–10 N) was used to investigate the load-dependency of these mechanical properties. Values of 95 ± 12 GPa, 5.8 ± 0.2 GPa and 1.15 ± 0.07 MPa m0.5 were derived for E, H and KIC using the most suitable indentation loads. An application relevant annealing treatment of 500 h at 800 °C does not lead to a significant change of the mechanical properties. Potential self-healing behavior of the sealant has also been studied by electron microscopy, based on heat treatment of samples with indentation-induced cracks for 70 h at 850 °C. Although the sealant G is considered to be fully crystallized, evidence indicates that its cracks can be healed even in the absence of a dead load.
