At what temperature the electrode(Cathode) ink gains the property of adhering to gadolinum doped ceria (GDC)substrate used in solid oxide fuel cells?

Literature says that at 950-1050 for 2-4 hrs the cathode ink adheres to substrate and results in desired porous micro structure. My samples adhere at 1200-1250oC resulting in dense micro...
