[Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a method of firing a lead zirconate titanate piezoelectric ceramic to a high density. [Prior art and its problems] It has been known that a dense sintered body can be obtained by firing a lead zirconate titanate piezoelectric ceramic in an oxygen stream while keeping it in a lead atmosphere. There is. For example, GSSnow is J.Am.Ceramic Soc., 56,
No. 2, 91 (1973), it was reported that a sintered body with few pores could be obtained by firing PLZT in an oxygen stream while maintaining a lead atmosphere. However, this method uses a tubular furnace to perform firing in an oxygen stream while maintaining a lead atmosphere, and a setter is placed in the tubular furnace, and oxygen is continued to flow while controlling the flow rate. However, this method was not industrially satisfactory due to its poor space utilization efficiency and poor production efficiency. On the other hand, in the case of the simple method of firing in the air under a lead atmosphere, the crystal growth rate of lead zirconate titanate-based porcelain exceeds the intracrystal diffusion rate of nitrogen contained between crystal grains. Nitrogen was taken in and remained, easily forming pores, making it impossible to obtain a dense sintered body. [Means for Solving the Problems] The present inventors conducted intensive research to solve the above problems, and as a result, they arrived at the present invention. The present invention relates to a method for firing a piezoelectric ceramic based on lead zirconate titanate, characterized in that an oxygen releasing substance is allowed to coexist when firing the piezoelectric ceramic based on lead zirconate titanate in a lead atmosphere. The oxygen releasing substance used in the present invention may be any substance that releases oxygen during firing, and specific examples thereof include Pb 3 O 4 , Sb 2 O 5 , BaO 2 , Co 2 O 3 ,
Examples include Co 3 O 4 , MnO 2 , RbO 2 , U 3 O 8 and the like.
The amount of the oxygen-releasing substance used is not particularly limited, but if it is too small, the amount of oxygen released will be small and densification during sintering will not progress, and if it is too large, the substance after releasing oxygen will absorb lead in the atmosphere. Since it may be absorbed or react with lead, making it impossible to fire under the specified lead vapor pressure, the amount used is limited to the setter internal volume 100.
0.5 to 10, especially 1 to 3 g per cc is suitable. The present invention can be carried out, for example, by the following method. A setter such as a high-purity alumina setter or a magnesia setter is placed in an ordinary box-type electric furnace for firing in the atmosphere, and inside the setter are lead zirconate titate-based samples, PbO, etc. that have been pressure-molded after calcination. A crucible containing powder for a lead atmosphere consisting of the above and a crucible containing an oxygen releasing substance are placed, and after degreasing treatment, the crucible is fired. The firing temperature is 1000℃ or higher, preferably
A usual firing temperature of 1200-1350°C is chosen. [Example] Hereinafter, the method of the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to Examples. Example 1 PbO, each with a purity of 3N grade,
TiO 2 , ZrO 2 , MgO and Nb 2 O 5 with Pb (Mg 1/3 ,
Nb 2/3 ) 0.125 Ti 0.445 Zr 0.43 O 3 was weighed.
Mix ethanol in a wet ball mill according to the usual method for 24 hours.
Time passed. After calcining the mixture at 900-950℃, it is pulverized and polyvinyl alcohol is 0.8wt based on the powder.
% as an aqueous solution and mix, after drying,
It was press-molded into a tablet shape at 1 ton/cm 2 to a thickness of 20Φ×3 mm. The above tablets were placed in a setter and subjected to main firing in a box-type electric furnace for firing in the atmosphere. A high-purity alumina setter or magnesia setter with low lead absorption was used as the setter for the main firing. The main body and lid of the setter have an airtight structure to prevent oxygen from leaking out of the setter as much as possible. In a setter of 80 x 80 x 45 mm, in addition to the tablet sample, a predetermined amount of oxygen releasing substance (for samples No. 1 to 4) was placed.
A high-purity alumina crucible containing 3 g of BaO 2 ) and a high-purity alumina crucible containing powder for a lead atmosphere mixed with PbO/ZrO 2 at a molar ratio of 1:1 were placed. Open the lid of the setter and hold it at 500℃ for 24 hours.
Polyvinyl alcohol used as a binder was decomposed and removed. After closing the lid of the setter, heat it at 1200 to 1350℃ for 2 hours.
After firing in the atmosphere for an hour and cooling, both sides of the sample were polished to a thickness of 1 mm. After applying Ag paste on both sides and baking, it was placed in a silicone oil bath at 100°C.
A DC voltage of 3000 V was applied to both ends of the sample for 30 minutes to perform polarization treatment (Samples Nos. 1 to 9). The piezoelectric properties of the above sample were measured using an impedance analyzer in a conventional manner. As a comparative example, a comparative sample (sample
No. 10 to 13). Table 1 shows the evaluation results.
