That is, a subphase material that is a 1115 phase is prepared in steps T130 and T140 of FIG. 1, and this subphase material is mixed with a parent phase material in step T150, and then manufactured by firing in step T160. Therefore, the 1319 phase in the subphase of each sample in FIG. 11 is estimated to have been converted from the 1115 phase during the firing in step T160. As described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 9, the sample shown in FIG.
- 11 has either an electrical characteristic (relative permittivity ⁇ 33 T / ⁇ 0 ) or a piezoelectric characteristic (piezoelectric constant d 33 and electromechanical coupling coefficient kr). Also shows excellent characteristics. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a piezoelectric ceramic composition having excellent characteristics regardless of whether the subphase after firing is the 1115 phase or the 1319 phase.
- FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an analysis result of a piezoelectric ceramic composition prepared by mixing a subphase material prepared as a 1319 phase with a matrix material.
- Sample S51 has a subphase ratio of 3 mol%, and other samples S52 to S57 have a subphase ratio of 5 mol%.
- no additive metal is added, but in other samples S53 to S57, Cu, Fe, Zn, Mn, and the like are added as additive metals.
- a subphase material that is a 1319 phase was prepared in steps T130 and T140 of FIG. 1, and this subphase material was mixed with a matrix material in step T150, and then manufactured by firing in step T160.
- these samples S51 to S57 are similar to the samples S35 and S36 (see FIG. 9) in FIG. 11 in terms of electrical characteristics (relative permittivity ⁇ 33 T / ⁇ 0 ) and piezoelectric characteristics (piezoelectric constant d 33 and electrical constant).
- the mechanical coupling coefficient kr showed excellent characteristics (not shown).
- FIG. 13 is a diagram showing the results of experiments conducted on samples S61 to S81 different from samples S32 to S43 shown in FIG. 9 with respect to the influence of the added metal on the characteristics of the piezoelectric ceramic composition.
- the characteristics of the samples S04 and S31 as comparative examples shown in FIG. 9 are shown again.
- Each sample was manufactured using a second crystal phase prepared as the 1115 phase.
- Samples S61 to S80 in FIG. 13 all contain 5 mol% of the second crystal phase, and sample S81 does not contain the second crystal phase.
- the samples other than the samples S69, S72, and S76 contain two kinds of Ca, Sr, and Ba as the element C of the first crystal phase.
- the columns of the elements C1 and C2 in the first crystal phase column indicate these two elements.
- the columns of coefficients d1 and d2 are coefficients of elements C1 and C2.
- the composition was not sufficiently densified in the baking of step T160 in FIG.
- the reason for this is presumed that for sample S80, the coefficient e for the entire A site is 1.12 and the value of this coefficient e is too large.
- the sample S79 having a coefficient e of 1.09 and the sample S78 having a coefficient e of 0.98 have electrical characteristics (relative permittivity ⁇ 33 T / ⁇ 0 ) and piezoelectric characteristics (piezoelectric constant d 33 and electrical constant).
- the mechanical coupling coefficient kr exhibits excellent characteristics.
- the value of the coefficient e in the composition formula of the first crystal phase is preferably in the range of 0.97 to 1.10. A range of 00 to 1.09 is more preferable.
- the additive metals include Cu (copper), Ni (nickel), Co (cobalt), Fe (iron), Mn (manganese), Zr (zirconium), Ag (silver). , Zn (zinc), Sc (scandium), Bi (bismuth) containing at least one metal element, the piezoelectric ceramic composition having sufficiently good characteristics as compared with the comparative samples S04 and S31 Obtainable. Also, when Cr (chromium) is added, it can be expected that the same characteristics as when Mn (manganese) is added are obtained.
- FIG. 15 is a diagram showing the thermal cycle evaluation test results of the piezoelectric ceramic composition.
- tests were performed on the three samples S04, S31, and S32 shown in FIG. 9 and the eight samples S61 to S65 and S67 to S69 shown in FIG.
- the thermal cycle evaluation test the sample was first placed in a thermostatic chamber, and the piezoelectric characteristics at room temperature were evaluated (the column of “initial value” of the electromechanical coupling coefficient kr in FIG. 14). Thereafter, the heat cycle was repeated at ⁇ 50 ° C., 150 ° C., 20 ° C., 150 ° C., and 20 ° C. at a rate of 2 ° C./min. The holding time at each temperature at this time was 1 hour. Each time, the piezoelectric properties were evaluated again at room temperature (in the column “After thermal cycle”).
- the rate of decrease of the electromechanical coupling coefficient kr after the thermal cycle is about 70%, indicating a large rate of decrease.
- the decrease rate of the electromechanical coupling coefficient kr after the thermal cycle is in the range of about 10% to about 26%, which is sufficiently small. It was a good value.
- the piezoelectric ceramic composition containing the second crystal phase is not excessively deteriorated in characteristics even when subjected to a thermal cycle. Therefore, applications that require excellent thermal durability (for example, knock sensor and combustion) Suitable for pressure sensors and the like.
