The (Ba1-xCax)(Ti0.92Sn0.08)O3 (x = 0 and 0.02) lead-free ceramics were prepared by using different ball-milling method and time (common ball milling 24 h, high energy ball milling 1 and 3 h). The two-step sintering method was used for sintered the samples. The densification, structure, dielectric and piezoelectric properties of the ceramics were investigated. The results showed that Ca addition could reduce sintering temperature effectively and enhanced densification at lower temperature when using the common ball-milling type. The XRD patterns of (Ba1-xCax) (Ti0.92Sn0.08)O3 ceramics revealed the change in crystal symmetries from tetragonal to cubic phase with increasing Ca content from 0 to 0.02. However, the crystal structure did not change due to the effect of ball-milling method. Ca incorporation caused a decrease of the grain size and Curie temperature. Moreover, the largest grain size was found in the x = 0 ceramics with 24 h-common ball-milling, whereas the small size (< 5 µm) was obtained for the x = 0.02 ceramics. The dielectric and piezoelectric properties were also affected to Ca addition and ball-milling. High piezoelectric coefficient of d33 = 173 pC/N, dielectric constant εr ~ 3200 and dissipation factor tand ~ 0.05 were obtained for the x = 0 sample with high energy ball-milling for 1 h.

In this work, the (Ba1-xCax)(Ti1-yZry)O3 lead-free ceramics were prepared by the two-step sintering method, and effects of Ca and Zr contents on phase structure, densification, microstructure, and electrical properties were investigated. It was found that all samples showed orthorhombic phase. The highest density of 5.84 ± 0.01 g/cm3 was achieved in x = 0.05, y = 0.05 sample. The average grain size, phase transition temperature, dielectric and piezoelectric properties significantly decreased by introducing of the Ca/Zr content. The ceramics with a small amount of Ca and Zr maintain good piezoelectric properties, and a lower dielectric loss. The composition with x = 0.05, y = 0.025 demonstrated optimum electrical properties of d33 ∼211 pC/N, TC ∼ 119 °C, εr ∼ 1788, and tanδ ∼ 0.04.

The NdFe magnetic absorbing materials were prepared by rapid solidification and high-energy ball milling method. The effect of high-energy ball milling on particle morphology, organizational structure and microwave absorbing properties of NdFe magnetic absorbing materials were analyzed with the aid of X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscope and vector network analysis. The results show that the Nd2Fe17 and α-Fe phase are refined, the particles become smaller and thinner; the span-ratio of the particles increases along with time during the process of high-energy ball milling; and meanwhile, the frequency of absorbing peak reduces. The absorbing bandwidth broadens as the increase of the time of ball milling, except that of 48h.The minimum reflectance of the powder decreases from -22dB to - 44dB under the circumstances that the time of high energy ball milling reaches 48h and the thickness of the microwave absorbing coating is 1.5mm. But it rebounds to about - 6dB when the time of ball milling reaches 72h.
