The effects of BaO addition on relative density, microstructure and electric conductivity of cermets were investigated. The results show that relative densities of xNi/10NiO-NiFe O cermets (x=5, 2 4 10, 17) doped with 1% BaO at 1 473 K in nitrogen atmosphere are increased by 0.49%, 1.45% and 2.99% compared with those of the undoped BaO cermets, respectively. Moreover, the electric conductivities (21.98, 28.37 and 50.10 S/cm) of xNi/10NiO-NiFe2O4 cermets (x=5, 10, 17) doped with 1% BaO at 1 233 K are improved compared with those (18.70, 22.79 and 39.58 S/cm) of xNi/10NiO-NiFe O cermets (x=5, 10, 17), respectively. This indicates that perhaps the addition of BaO or formation of BaFe O and 2 4 2 4 Ba Fe O has an active effect on electric conductivities of xNi/10NiO-NiFe O (x=5, 10, 17) cermets. 2 2 5
