Abstract

1526950 Ultrasonic transducers UNITED KINGDOM ATOMIC ENERGY AUTHORITY 18 Nov 1976 [18 Sept 1975] 38343/75 Heading H4J An ultrasonic transducer for use in liquid sodium (e.g. up to 600‹ C.) comprises piezoelectric material, e.g. lead zirconate titanate, having a metal coating bonded to a nickel diaphragm with lead. The metal coating is preferably silver. A nickel diaphragm disc, 30 mm. diameter, 3 mm. thick has a first counterbore 2 and a second counterbore 3. It is heated under vacuum at 500-600‹ C. for 10 minutes to remove contaminants. A lead button is then placed in counterbore 3 and the disc is reheated to melt the lead and bond the button to it. The base of counterbore 2 and the lead button are machined to a common face to leave a lead film. The piezoelectric member 4 having silver face coatings is placed centrally and the disc is finally heated to 330‹ C. to melt the lead film and, on cooling, to bond the piezoelectric material to the diaphragm.
