Fabrication of fine-grained CeO2-SiC ceramics for inert fuel matrices by Spark Plasma Sintering
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract The possibility to fabricate highly dense (95.3–95.8% of theoretical density) composite ceramics CeO2 – x α-SiC (x = 10, 20 vol %) as a promising mineral-like material for the inert fuel matrices (IFM) by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) has been explored. The kinetics of SPS of the CeO2 – SiC composites in the heating-up conditions was found to have a multi-stage character. The introduction of the α-SiC particles resulted in a shift of the characteristic sintering temperatures towards higher values, allows forming the highly dense fine-grained structure, and leads to increasing of the thermal conductivity of the cerium dioxide – based ceramics.
