Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a method for manufacturing a piezoelectric ceramics which requires a short aging process period after the polarization. CONSTITUTION:A method comprises the step of polarizing a piezoelectric ceramics after the baking of molded material by applying thereto a DC voltage and the step of applying a DC voltage which is about 1/5 to 1/50 of the voltage applied at the time of polarization to the piezoelectric ceramics in the direction opposed to that at the time of polarization. Since a DC voltage in the direction opposed to that during the polarization is applied after the polarizing process, gradual decrease of residual polarization after the polarizing process is accelerated, the aging process period is remarkably shortened and a piezoelectric ceramics can be stabilized within a short period of time.

Description of the Related Art In the manufacture of piezoelectric ceramics, for example, in the case of barium titanate type, barium carbonate and titanium oxide are used as main raw materials, and calcium carbonate, lead oxide, etc. are added thereto to obtain a predetermined molar ratio. And weigh and mix. The mixed raw materials are calcined at a temperature slightly lower than the firing temperature and pulverized.

Since the calcined powder has no plasticity, a binder such as an aqueous solution of polyvinyl alcohol is mixed and granulated into granules, which are then molded by a pressing method or the like. The compact is placed in a lidded magnesia or alumina sheath and fired in an electric furnace or a gas furnace at a predetermined optimum temperature for a predetermined time.

The fired ceramics are processed into a predetermined size, and then a silver electrode is attached by baking or vacuum deposition, and a direct current electric field is applied in silicon oil to perform polarization treatment. After the polarization treatment, the residual polarization remaining in the ceramics gradually decreases with the passage of time, so the aging treatment for accelerating the change occurring in the initial short time is performed before use.

Further, in order to prevent the deterioration of the electrical characteristics due to the thermal shock cycle (-45 ° C. to 80 ° C.) of the piezoelectric ceramic after the polarization treatment, the piezoelectric ceramic is heat-treated for a short time at a temperature near the Curie point of the piezoelectric ceramic.

However, the aging process after the polarization process of the piezoelectric ceramic is 80 to 20.
It is necessary to hold at a temperature of 0 ° C. for 10 to 100 hours, there is a problem that the aging treatment time is long and mass production efficiency is poor. Further, in the proposal of the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 64-2383, since the heat treatment is carried out at a temperature close to 300 ° C. for several tens of seconds, the mass effect becomes a problem in a thick piezoelectric ceramic, and the bonding is performed at a high temperature. There is a drawback that the coefficient is greatly reduced.

In view of the fact that the conventional aging treatment for accelerating the gradual decrease of remanent polarization takes time because it is exclusively due to heating, the inventor hastens the gradual decrease of remanent polarization without depending on heating. The method was studied thoroughly.
As a result, if a DC voltage is applied in the opposite direction to that during polarization,

The polarization remains even after the electric field is removed, and the piezoelectric ceramic exhibits piezoelectricity.

The polarization treatment is performed by applying a DC electric field in silicon oil. The higher the polarization voltage is, the more effective it is. However, the optimum value is selected depending on the relationship between the withstand voltage and leakage current of the piezoelectric ceramics. For example, barium titanate is treated for several hours at a voltage of about 2 kv per mm of thickness.

1/5 to 1/1 / the voltage when polarized in the piezoelectric ceramic
By applying a DC voltage to the voltage of 50 in the direction opposite to that at the time of polarization, the gradual decrease of remanent polarization is significantly accelerated. The reason why the applied voltage is set to 1/5 to 1/50 of the voltage during polarization is that when the voltage is less than 1/50, it is not possible to sufficiently accelerate the gradual decrease of the remanent polarization. This is because if it exceeds / 5, the coupling coefficient decreases and the electrical characteristics deteriorate.

The reverse voltage is applied in silicone oil as in the polarization treatment.

The subsequent aging treatment is the same as the conventional method, and the temperature is maintained at 80 to 200 ° C., but the residual polarization is further stabilized by this treatment.

As is clear from Table 1, in Comparative Example 1 in which the reverse voltage was not applied after the polarization treatment, the remanent polarization was greatly reduced and it took 100 hours to stabilize due to aging.
Further, in Comparative Example 2 in which the applied voltage was higher than that of the present invention, although the remanent polarization did not gradually decrease due to aging, the piezoelectric characteristics were significantly deteriorated. Since the applied voltage was low in Comparative Example 3, the reduction of remanent polarization was large similarly to Comparative Example 1, and it took 100 hours to stabilize due to aging. In Comparative Example 4, the applied voltage was appropriate, but the same result was obtained because the temperature of the silicone oil was low.
