Description Skutterudites are an important class of thermoelectric p- and n-type materials and they have already achieved fair efficiencies for the conversion of heat to electricity. Nevertheless researchers try to further enhance the figure of merit, ZT, by various ways. In this work we compare the microstructure and mechanical properties of an industrial p-type DDyFe3CoSb12 skutterudite powder processed by several routes containing various combinations of ball milling, hot pressing, cold pressing and high pressure torsion. Details of the resulting microstructure are studied by means of analytical electron microscopy as well as by means of local mechanical testing.
