Porcelain whose main ingredients are zircon and lead titanate have a high dielectric constant and high piezoelectricity. Since it has high reliability with respect to temperature and time, it is widely used today as a material for various ultrasonic transducers and capacitors.

These porcelains are usually manufactured by the following method. First, predetermined amounts of lead oxide (PbO), zircon oxide (ZrO 2 ), titanium oxide (TiO 2 ), and other metal oxide powders as the main components are weighed stoichiometrically and mixed using a ball mill, etc. do. mixed powder
After calcining at a temperature of about 800°C for several hours, it is pre-molded into a predetermined size and shape. and 1200~1300℃
It becomes porcelain only after being sintered at high temperatures for several hours.

ところで、主成分の一つであるPbOはその融点

By the way, since PbO, which is one of the main components, has a melting point of 1000° C. or lower, if it is sintered in the atmosphere at a temperature higher than this, part of the Pb component will evaporate.

そこで、焼結中にPbOの蒸発を防止し、化学量

Therefore, various efforts have been made to prevent PbO from evaporating during sintering and to obtain stoichiometric zircon/lead titanate-based lead ware.

For example, if the press-molded body of the above-mentioned calcined powder is
Methods have been used, such as sealing it in a platinum crucible with PbZrO 3 porcelain powder and sintering it, or placing a press molded body in a container made of PbZrO 3 porcelain and sintering it.

Therefore, platinum crucible, PbZrO 3 porcelain powder or
PbZrO 3 porcelain containers and the like must be prepared, and the work of sealing these containers is a major hindrance to mass production.

Furthermore, since PbO vapor is harmful to the human body, special equipment must be used to prevent the PbO vapor generated during sintering from dispersing into the atmosphere. Therefore, commercially available electric furnaces cannot be used as they are, and expensive special equipment must be installed.

As a method to improve the shortcomings of the conventional manufacturing methods described above, a mixed powder of alkali metal salt and PbF 2 is added as a sintering temperature lowering agent to the component raw materials or calcined powder in the porcelain manufacturing process as described above. A production method has been proposed in which the sintering temperature is lowered to below the melting point of PbO by performing sintering. If this method is followed, it is possible to obtain porcelain that is sufficiently sintered at a low temperature of about 700℃, and as a result: (1) sintering can be performed in the bare state in the atmosphere, which simplifies the sintering process and at the same time Man-hours are drastically reduced. (2) No pollution prevention equipment is required for the generation of PbO vapor. (3) For applications with electrodes inside the ceramic, such as multilayer ceramic capacitors,
Conventionally, only expensive noble metals with excellent heat resistance such as platinum and palladium could be used as electrode materials, but by adopting the method of the present invention, inexpensive metal materials such as nickel and silver can be used as internal electrode materials. This makes it possible to significantly reduce raw material costs.

By the way, Pb produced using a sintering temperature lowering agent that combines an alkali metal salt and PbF2
(Zr 0 . 52 Ti 0 . 52 ) O 3 The maximum value of the electromechanical coupling coefficient K r in radial vibration of porcelain is, for example, according to JP-A-54-25909 "Method for manufacturing lead-containing porcelain". K r = only 46%. The electromechanical coupling coefficient is a constant indicating the conversion efficiency between electrical energy and mechanical energy of a piezoelectric material, and the larger this value, the better the piezoelectric material. For example, when a piezoelectric material is used as a transducer for transmitting and receiving ultrasonic waves, the larger the value of the electromechanical coupling coefficient, the higher the sensitivity for transmitting and receiving waves. Also, when used as a pressure sensor, the larger the electromechanical coupling coefficient, the higher the sensitivity. Furthermore, when used in ceramic filters or mechanical filters, the larger the electromechanical coupling coefficient, the wider the pass band width. Despite the desire for materials with a large electromechanical coupling coefficient for the reasons mentioned above,
As mentioned above, when a sintering temperature lowering agent combining an alkali metal and PbF 2 is used, k r is only 46% at most.

The present invention is characterized in that an alkali metal salt and PbF 2 are subjected to a solid phase reaction in advance, and the resulting powder is added to the calcined powder, which is the main component raw material for porcelain, and sintered. The object of the present invention is to obtain porcelain that exhibits even greater piezoelectricity than conventional methods while maintaining its advantages.

Add this powder to the previously prepared zircon/lead titanate calcined powder by 3 to 60 mol%.

It was press-molded into a disc of 20 mm and 1 mm thick. This molded body was sintered in the atmosphere at 700°C for 2 hours, and after polishing the top and bottom surfaces of the resulting porcelain disk, all electrodes were deposited.
Finally, a DC electric field of 4 KV/mm was applied for 1 hour to perform polarization treatment, and the electromechanical coupling coefficient k r in radial vibration was measured. The results of the present invention are shown by curve 1 in the figure.

As is clear from this figure, it is clear that the piezoelectricity of the porcelain is improved by using a powder that has undergone a solid phase reaction with NaF and PbF 2 in comparison to adding it as a conventional raw material powder.

This is not only because NaF or PbF 2 alone does not form a liquid phase at low temperatures, but also because Pb(Zr 0 . 52 Ti 0 . 48 ) O 3 and individual contaminants may react before forming a liquid phase. On the other hand, if NaF and PbF 2 are reacted in advance, Pb alone will react as shown above.
(Zr 0 . 52 Ti 0 . 48 ) This is thought to be because there is no fear of it reacting with O 3 and it reliably forms a liquid phase at a low temperature. Therefore, when using a sintering temperature lowering agent consisting of two or more components, it is better to use a powder obtained by subjecting these components to a solid phase reaction in advance, so that porcelain formation progresses at a lower temperature and piezoelectricity increases.
