- Make an
electrode (Powder) material pallet by taking 250mg of powder at 5 tonnes.
But first, take 270mg pure Powder and add 5% PVP to prepare the powder.
- After
pressing put in the oven at 1250oC for 4hr by wrapping in the pure powder. And then again repeat the same step by flipping the
side of the pallet.
- Make the
device for testing.
- Pallet size(diameter)
is nearly 11mm after firing. Before firring it is 13mm.
- Four probes (gold
wires) must be mounted at a 2mm distance.
- Then place
the device by putting it on the shaft in the oven and set the temperature at 850oC.
- Then start the
measurement for (850 => 150)oC with step size of 30oC.
- Turning on the multimeter and applying the current as 5mA, 10mA, and 20mA. Then wait for 15 minutes and repeat the step. So, at each value of the current 2 measurements.
- Note down the value of voltage against each current value.
- If
measurement takes more than 1 day, then the last measurement on day 1 and 1st measurement on day 2 must be taken at the same temperature, actually leaving
the oven overnight at the same temperature to stabilize.
- Conductivity
graph must be plotted between 1000/T(K) x-axis vs log(conductivity*temperature(K))
y-axis.
