The cold sintering process (CSP) has been used for fabricating functional ceramics at a low sintering temperature. In this study, highly dense 0.3CaCeNbWO8‐0.7LaMnO3 composite ceramics have been successfully fabricated by CSP. The phase structure, microstructure, and electrical properties of composite ceramics have been investigated. The composite ceramic is mainly composed of a tetragonal CaCeNbWO8 phase with scheelite structure and an orthorhombic LaMnO3 phase with perovskite structure. The relative density of composite ceramic is 94.5%, and is higher than that of single phase ceramic. The resistivity of composite ceramic exhibits negative temperature coefficient characteristics, with an aging coefficient less than 2%. Such a sintering methodology is of great significance, since it provides a feasible idea for preparing composite ceramics.
