Abstract

Relations between the composites of SiC-$ZrB_2$ electro-conductive ceramic composites and their electrical resistivity, as well as their temperature, were investigated. The electrical resistivity of hot-pressed composites was measured by the Pauw method in the temperature of RT to $100^{\circ}C$. The electrical resistivity of the composites follow the electrical conduction model for a homogenous mixture of two kinds of particles with different conductivity. Also the electrical resistivity versus temperature curves indicate the formation of local chains of $ZrB_2$ particles. In the case of SiC-$ZrB_2$ composites containing above 30Vol.% $ZrB_2$ showed PTCR, whereas the electrical resistivity of SiC-15Vol.% $ZrB_2$ showed NTCR.
