Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve strength of porcelain without changing electrical properties by blending a spinel-based thermistor porcelain composition comprising main components of Mn and Ni as metallic elements with a specific amount of Pb element as an auxiliary component. CONSTITUTION:Main components of Mn and Ni as metallic elements are blended with 0.1-10 atomic % Pb element as an auxiliary component and preferably further 0.1-10 atomic % based on the main components of at least one of B and Si element to produce a thermistor porcelain composition. Consequently, a liquid-phase reaction partially occurs at a point of sintering, a spinel phase of main component elements is precipitated during cooling, Pb, B, Si, etc., of addition elements remain in a grain boundary and a glass phase is formed so that a high-strength thermistor porcelain is obtained. By using the porcelain, production efficiency, reliability, etc., of the product can be improved and the porcelain can be also applied to thin, small-sized products.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention When using spinel-based thermistor porcelain mainly composed of Mn and Ni as described above, the usage forms and methods vary depending on the product. The loads placed on ceramic elements are considerable, such as the spring pressure in the type that holds the cylindrical ceramic element, the fitting pressure in the type that fits cap-shaped electrodes on both ends of the cylindrical ceramic element, and even heat shock during soldering. was there. For this reason, the high strength of ceramic porcelain greatly influences not only the work efficiency in the process but also the reliability of the product.

Function The thermistor ceramic according to the present invention is a crystal with a spinel structure, and it is known that the sintering process thereof generally takes a solid phase reaction. Electrical properties are due to crystal grains (semiconductors), whereas the strength of porcelain does not depend on the strength of the particles themselves, as the fracture surface is grain boundary fracture, just like alumina porcelain. , it can be seen that this is due to the strength of the grain boundaries, which is weaker than this. Furthermore, these two events are considered to be independent events.
