Abstract: The ZrNiSn/C60 thermoelectric composite was prepared by a spark plasma sintering (SPS)technique. The obtained sample was fully dense and homogeneous. Slices of the sample were characterized by electrical resistivity, Seebeck coefficient and thermal conductivity up to 850K. It was shown that the composite has a higher electrical conductivity, a lower Seebeck coefficient and a higher thermal conductivity than the ZrNiSn matrix alloy. XRD pattern and EPMA analysis of the composite revealed that the C60 nano particles reacted with ZrNiSn matrix to form ZrC inclusions.

Abstract: A rapid calibration method for the parameters of a laser light plane scanning 3D measurement system is proposed. The mathematic model and the calibrated parameters of the measurement system are presented. A novel orthogonal calibration jig composed of two orthogonal planes is designed. The CCD camera parameters and the light plane parameters of the measurement system can be rapidly calibrated with the orthogonal calibration jig. The laser scanning 3D measurement system is calibrated with the calibration jig. A standard plane is measured at different positions. The accuracy is better than 0.1mm.
