INFLUENCE OF THE ADDITIVE OF EUTECTIC COMPOSITION IN THE Li2O–B2O3 SYSTEM ON THE SINTERING PROCESS AND PROPERTIES OF CERAMICS BASED ON Li2MgTi3O8

Abstract

The influence of the eutectic additive of the Li2O–B2O3 system on the sintering process and dielectric properties of ceramics based on Li2MgTi3O8 has been investigated. It was determined that the introduction of an additive in the amount of 10.0 – 15.0 % contributes to the sintering of ceramics by a liquid-phase mechanism. Li2MgTi3O8 ceramics, containing a sintering additive in an amount of 15.0 % and obtained at a firing temperature of 900 ?С, demonstrates the following level of properties ?av = 3.04 g/cm3, Po = 5.7 %, ?r = 19.0 and tg? = 0.028. The lowered sintering temperature of ceramic will allow the production of various electronic components based on it using low-temperature cofiring ceramic (LTCC) technology, and the specified level of dielectric properties will allow to miniaturize the devices.
