Sintering studies on zirconia-ceria system for MHD electrodes

  • 1. Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Bombay (India). Metallurgy Div.

Description

Solid solutions of zirconia and ceria are considered to be suitable materials for the electrode system in MHD channels, owing to their refractory properties, resistance to oxidation and alkali corrosion, and adequate electrical conductivity at elevated temperatures. The powder preparation and sintering behaviour of a composition of 85 mole percent zirconia and 15 mole percent ceria are described. The effect of yttria addition on the densification and stabilization is also studied. (auth.)
