Description
Summary:Various compositions of CeO2-Ce3Si2 (0, 10, 30, 50, and 100 wt%Ce3Si2) composites were fabricated using conventional sintering and spark plasma sintering. Lower relative density, enhanced interdiffusion of oxygen and silicon, and silicide agglomerations from the congruent melting of Ce3Si2 at 1390 ℃ were only observed from conventionally-sintered pellets. Thermal conductivity of spark plasma sintered CeO2-Ce3Si2 composites was calculated from the measured thermal diffusivity, specific heat, and density, which exhibited dense (>90 %TD) and homogeneous microstructure. The composite with 50 wt%Ce3Si2 exhibited 55% higher thermal conductivity than CeO2 at 500 ℃, and 81% higher at 1000 ℃.
