The thermoelectric properties of the hot-pressed n-type Fe 0.98 Co 0.02 Si 2 and p-type Fe 0.92 Mn 0.08 Si 2 mechanically alloyed with Si and C powders have been investigated. It has been found that mechanical alloying (MA) even for a short period is very effective for forming the β-FeSi 2 phase from the mixture of the α-Fe 2 Si 5 and e-FeSi phases during hot-pressing at 1173 K for I h. Both of the hot-pressed n-type and p-type samples are composed of mostly the β-phase with a dispersion of a small amount of e-phase particles. The amount of the e-phase decreases with increasing amounts of (Si+C) addition. A lot of fine α-SiC particles around 20 nm form in the samples mechanically alloyed for 20 h and hot-pressed at 1173 K for 1 h. The addition of (Si+C) markedly increases the thermoelectric power of both n-type and p-type FeSi 2 and the thermoelectric power values are at a maximum at 3-4 mass%(Si + C) for both cases. The electrical resistivity increases with increasing amount of (Si + C) addition for both n-type and p-type FeSi 2 . The addition of (Si+C) markedly decreases the thermal conductivity of both n-type and p-type FeSi 2 due to the dispersion of fine α-SiC particles, which results in the marked increase in the figure of merit. The figure of merit values are maxima at 3-4 mass%(Si+C) for both n-type and p-type FeSi 2 .
