The thermal diffusivities of Y, Y-Dy, and Y-Ce/alpha-SiAlON ceramics were also investigated experimentally for comparison. The maximum achievable thermal conductivity of Y-Sm/alpha-SiAlON has been calculated by the linear extrapolation of the temperature-based experimental inverse diffusivity data and was used for the numerical calculations. Two-dimensional model microstructures were built on the base of real microstructure images and applied for calculations. Experimental data and numerical calculations were compared for Y-Sm/alpha-SiAlON, and it was revealed that both results are in good agreement.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessArticle90123902390710.1111/j.1551-2916.2007.01993.x2-s2.0-36949031255Q1WOS:000251504300028Q1
