Temperature stable and fatigue resistant lead-free ceramics for actuators

Abstract: Lead-free ceramics with the composition 0.91K1/2Bi1/2TiO3–0.09(0.82BiFeO3-0.15NdFeO3-0.03Nd2/3TiO3) were prepared using a conventional solid state, mixed oxide route. The ceramics exhibited a high strain of 0.16% at 6 kV mm−1, stable from room temperature to 175 °C, with a variation of <10%. The materials were fabricated into multilayer structures by co-firing with Pt internal electrodes. The prototype multilayer actuator exhibited constant strains up to 300 °C with a variation of ∼15%. The composition … Show more

“…As reported previously [8], the 91KBT-09BNFT composition exhibits dielectric relaxation and slim P-E loops consistent with those of relaxor ferroelectrics. This material generates high, temperature-stable electromechanical strain (S), which makes it of interest for practical applications.…”

“…The archetype system of this type is lead zirconium titanate [1], the properties in which are amplified at the rhombohedral-tetragonal morphotropic phase boundary (MPB). For decades, the search for commercially viable formulations has focused on such MPB compositions but, recently, a different class of perovskite oxides has emerged that also exhibits technologically attractive functional properties [e.g., [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. These materials are multicomponent metal components) solid solutions of distorted end-members but which by powder diffraction appear to have the cubic (pseudocubic) symmetry of an ideal ABO3 perovskite structure (space group Pm3m, lattice parameter a Å .…”

“…Comparison of the variation with PZT and other PbO free materials is given in Table . These results suggest that BBTF may have the potential to operate at higher temperatures than typical for PbO‐free ceramics which often have low depolarising temperatures or a decrease in piezoactivity as temperature increases …”
