Ba ( Ti 1-x Zr x) O 3; BTZ (x = 0.20 and 0.25) ceramics are attractive candidates for dynamic random access memories, tunable microwave devices and capacitors. In this study, the preparation of BTZ powders and ceramics fabricated by the combustion method were studied in detail. The calcination and sintering conditions were performed from 600 to 900°C for 4 h and from 1300 to 1450°C for 2 h, respectively. The highest percentage of the cubic perovskite phase was found in the powders that were calcined at 800°C. A pure cubic perovskite structure was found in all ceramic samples. The average grain size increased with increasing sintering temperatures. Dielectric constant-temperature plots showed a maximum peak value of 7500 and 8300 for x = 0.20 and 0.25. The phase transition temperature of the BTZ ceramics occurred at 30°C and 10°C for x = 20 and 25, respectively.

The study was conducted to find out the effect of particle sizes of BaTiO3 (BT) seed on the microstructure and electrical properties of (Ba0.85Ca0.15)(Zr0.1Ti0.9)O3 (BCZT) ceramics. The BT seeds were prepared by the molten salt method. Results indicated that the BT seed powder showed a single pure perovskite phase when using a low temperature of ~750°C. The particle sizes of BT seeds increased from ~381 to ~600 nm with increasing heating temperatures from 750 to 900°C. After that, the different BT seeds were mixed with BaCO3, CaCo3, ZrO2 and TiO3 via the solid state reaction method. The mixed powder was calcined and sintered at 1200 °C for 2 h and 1450 °C for 4 h, respectively. The microstructure, phase formation and electrical properties were investigated. All ceramic samples showed a pure perovskite phase. The density and average grain size values of ceramics were in the range of 5.36-5.47 g/cm3 and 9.83-11.86 μm, respectively. The highest values of dielectric constant (εr), piezoelectric constant (d33) were 3393 and 452 pC/N, respectively which obtained at the sample of BT-seed size 372 nm doped.

Titanate Ceramics

This study concentrated on the crystal structure and microstructure of [(Ba0.75Sr0.25)TiO3; (BST)] ceramics at different firing temperatures. The BST powders were prepared by a combustion method. (CO(NH2)2) was used as a fuel. Crystallinity of the calcined powders was improved by increasing the calcining temperature, as indicated by the increase in intensity of the X-ray diffraction peak. The pure perovskite phase of BST powders was obtained with a calcinations condition of 1200 oC. The a axis lattice constant of BST calcined powders and sintered ceramics were calculated and it was found that the crystal structure is a cubic phase. The microstructure of BST calcined powders and sintered ceramics were analyzed by a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The SEM result indicated that the average particle size and average grain size increased with the increase of calcinations and sintering temperatures, respectively. The apparent density of the samples was measured by the Archimedes method.

This study investigated the influence of excess Bi2O3 and Na2CO3 on the crystal structure, microstructure and dielectric properties of (Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3 (BNT) ceramics. The BNT ceramics were synthesized using the solid-state reaction method with various excess Bi2O3 and Na2CO3 levels (0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 mol%). The X-ray characterization revealed that all samples had a rhombohedral structure. A pure perovskite phase was obtained in all samples. The lattice parameter a tended to increase with increased excess Bi2O3 and Na2CO3 content in the calcined powders and sintered ceramics. The average particle size increased while, the average grain size tended to decreased with increased of excess Bi2O3 and Na2CO3 content. The depolarization temperature (Td) and the Curie temperature (Tc) were slightly decreased with the increase of excess Bi2O3 and Na2CO3 content. The dielectric properties were related to the density.

Mechanical Properties And Corrosion

The effect of high-dose aluminum implantation on the structural-phase state of the surface layer of titanium alloy VT6 with a fine structure (average grain size 2.3 μm) on the mechanical and corrosion properties has been investigated. It is shown that, as a result of ion irradiation, polyphase implanted layers based on α-titanium grains are formed, containing an intermetallic Ti3Al phase along the grain boundaries of α-titanium. The modified surface layers are characterized by improved mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. The noted effect is enhanced by the use of preliminary helium implantation with a dose of 1.3 × 1017 ion / cm2.

In this work, the properties of lead-free 0.92(Bi0.5Na0.42K0.08)TiO3-0.08(BaNb0.01Ti0.99)O3 or 92BNKT-8BNbT ceramic has been investigated. The sample was fabricated by a solid-state reaction technique. The 92BNKT-8BNbT sample was well sintered and dense with high density value of 5.86 g/cm3. X-Ray diffraction (XRD) patterns showed a single perovskite phase with tetragonal symmetry and no impurity or secondary phases. The microstructure was analysed using a scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Average grain size was measured and calculated based on a mean linear intercept method. The ceramics had a cubic-like grain shape with an average grain size of 0.39 µm. The influence of temperature on the dielectric and ferroelectric properties of the ceramic was investigated. The dielectric curves exhibited broad transition peaks at Td and Tm, which were the characteristics of a diffuse phase transition. The polarization-electric field (P-E) hysteresis loop changed from well-saturated at room temperature (RT) to pinched-type loop at high temperature (HT) and the remanent polarization decreased from 21.25 µC/cm2 (at RT) to 5.96 µC/cm2 (at 150 °C).

The piezoelectric ceramics of Pb(ZrxTi1−x)O3 – Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3 – Pb(Mn1/3Nb2/3)O3; PZT-PZN-PMN with Zr/Ti ratios of 48/52, 50/50 and 52/48 were fabricated in order to investigate the effect of compositional modifications on the ferroelectric properties of PZT-PZN-PMN ceramics. The phase structure of ceramics sintered at 1,150°C was analyzed. Results show that the pure perovskite phase was in all ceramic specimens, and the phase structure of PZT-PZN-PMN piezoelectric ceramics transformed from tetragonal to rhombohedral, with the Zr/Ti ratios increased in the system. The PZT-PZN-PMN ceramics with a Zr/Ti ratio of 50/50 exhibited the most promising properties including high remanent polarization and low coercive field of 25.95 µC cm−2 and 12.5 kV cm−1, respectively. Furthermore, the transition temperature decreased when the Zr/Ti ratio increased in the system.

This research reports the physical and mechanical properties of (1-x) Bi0.5(Na0.81K0.19)0.5TiO3-xKNbO3 (x=0.00-0.06) ceramics. The Modified Bi0.5(Na0.81K0.19)0.5TiO3 ceramics were synthesized by solid state reaction technique. The mixed oxides powders were calcined at 850 °C, 4 h and sintered at 1120 °C, 2 h to form pure phase perovskite and the optimum bulk density, respectively. The phase formation of the modified ceramic samples was determined by X-ray diffraction technique. All of the modified Bi0.5(Na0.81K0.19)0.5TiO3 ceramics exhibited a single perovskite phase. The bulk densities of the modified ceramic samples were 5.41±0.27-5.75±0.28 g/cm3 using the Archimedes’ method. The microstructure was revealed by the scanning electron microscope. The rectangular-like shape was found of all studied ceramics which had the grain size between 1.31±0.02-1.56±0.03 mm. The mechanical properties were studied by both Vickers and Knoop microhardness tester. The results are discussed in term of the relation among hardness properties, Young’s modulus, and fracture toughness.

Ba0.85Ca0.15Zr0.1Ti0.9O3 (BCZT) ceramics were produced by using the seed-induced method. The nano-particle BZ (BaZrO3) seeds were mixed with BaCO3, CaCO3, ZrO2 and TiO2 powder for preparing by the mixed oxide method. The XRD results indicated that all powder and sintered ceramic samples showed a pure perovskite phase with coexistence between rhombohedral and tetragonal phase. As the BZ seed content increased, the density of ceramics tended to decrease from 5.61 g/cm3 to 5.37 g/cm3. The average grain size of the ceramics was in the range of 12.15 -13.50 mm. The dielectric loss (tand) was less than 0.03 for all samples at room temperature (at 1 kHz). Other electrical properties, including dielectric constant (εr), remnant polarization (Pr), and piezoelectric charge coefficient (d33) values decreased with increasing BZ seed doping with relates to the decreasing grain size and density of BCZT ceramics. However, the values of coercive field (Ec) decreased and piezoelectric voltage coefficient (g33) increased with BZ seed doping.
