Description

The invention relates to a resistance material consisting .Iadd.essentially .Iaddend.of a mixture of .[.one or more metal oxidic compounds,.]. a permanent and a temporary binder, .[.one or more metal oxides and, possibly, a metal, the material containing.]. a metal-rhodate as the resistance-determining component, and to a resistor consisting of the resistance material providing onto a substrate and from which the temporary binder has been removed by heating and provided with leads.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,107,387 describes such a resistance material in which the resistance-determining component is a metal-rhodate defined by the composition M3 Rh7 O15, M preferably being Pb or Se.
The advantage of this compound relative to many previously suggested oxidic compounds for use as the resistance-determining component in resistance material is that it is a completed-reaction product which, with a permanent binder and, possibly, together with a different resistance-determining component having a different temperature dependency can be assembled in a simple manner on a suitable substrate to form a resistor body. Prior to that resistance pastes were in common usage from which the resistance-determining component was not obtained until firing thereof on a substrate and by reaction with a vitreous binder, for example a lead oxide glass. This required rather long firing times (for example half an hour) at a relatively high temperature (approximately 800° C.).
A further advantage is the linear negative temperature coefficient of the resistance (TCR) of this material, which temperature behaviour is rare. Combining this material with the much commoner material having a linear positive temperature coefficient enables the production of resistors having a very low TCR (/TCR/<100×10-6 /° C. temperature range--100° to +200° C.).
The invention furnishes a resistance-determining material having a linear positive TCR, also of the rhodate type, which can be assembled together with material having a linear negative TCR into resistors having a low TCR (/TCR/<100×10-6 /° C.).
According to the invention the resistance material is characterized in that the resistance-determining component consists of barium rhodate defined by the composition BaRh6 O12.
Surprisingly, it was found that whereas it was impossible to prepare the barium rhodate in conformity with the composition and the properties stated in the above-mentioned U.S. Pat. No., there is a barium rhodate defined by the composition BaRh6 O12 which has a positive, linear TCR and a totally different crystal structure and an elementary cell of a totally different structure than the known rhodate.
As mentioned above it is possible to assemble resistance bodies having a low TCR value and having a component with a negative linear TCR as the second resistance-determining component.
In accordance with a further elaboration of the invention a metal rhodate M3 Rh7 O15, wherein M is preferably Pb or Sr in accordance with the above-mentioned U.S.-Specification, is used for the component with the negative linear TCR.
The resistance body is produced with material in accordance with the invention by mixing the resistance-determining component(s) with a permanent binder and an organic temporary binder which can be removed by means of firing. After this mixture has been applied onto a substrate, the temporary binder is volatilized and/or decomposed by heating, the permanent binder ensuring cohesion by melting, softening or sintering. The permanent binder, is preferably, a low-melting glass but may also be a synthetic resin material.
The invention will now be further explained with reference to the following examples.
Barium-rhodate and lead-rhodate are prepared by heating a mixture of BaO and Rh2 O3 in a molar ratio 1:3, and PbO and Rh2 O3 in a molar ratio 6:7, respectively, in air for 1 hour at 1000° C. and 3 hours at a temperature of 700° C., respectively, cooling the reaction product out aimed and grinding it to an average grain size of 0.2 μm.
Mixtures of these powders are mixed in different ratios with glass powder having an average particle size of 1 μm and thereafter processed into a paste by means of benzylbenzoate and ethyl cellulose.
The glass powders employed had the following compositions, expressed in a percentage per weight:
