Embodiment
Describe the present invention in detail below with reference to accompanying drawing.
Piezoceramic material (hereinafter only being called " piezoceramic material ") according to an exemplary of the present invention is the PZT (PbTiO of doping Sn, Sb and Nb 3-PbZrO 3) pottery.
When at cubic ferroelectric material PbTiO 3Middle Zr replaces Ti when the amount of Zr in gained PZT sosoloid reaches about 53mol%, and the crystalline structure of material is changed into diamond structure.Will be at the crystalline structure of material along with this border of forming change place is called accurate homotype phase boundary (MPB).Known: the piezoelectricity of PZT material becomes maximum near accurate homotype phase boundary, but near accurate homotype phase boundary, thus the stability degradation of PZT material cause capacitor C p with respect to temperature great variety.
Therefore, piezoceramic material has the composition that is expressed from the next: Pb m{ Zr 1-x-y-zTi xSn y(Sb 1-nNb n) zO 3Wherein 1.000≤m≤1.075,0.470≤x<0.490,0.020≤y≤0.040,0<n<1.000 and 0<z≤0.025, so that it is different with accurate homotype phase boundary on forming, benefit from replacement (doping) effect of Sn, Sb and Nb, guarantee the piezoelectric property of capacitor C p in the present embodiment and the consistency between the temperature stability thus.
Have above-mentioned specific composition, piezoceramic material reaches the above piezoelectric constant d33 of 340pC/N.Piezoelectric constant d33 is defined as at the mechanical force that applies to it, stress, pressure etc. down the amount of the electric charge that the direct piezoelectric effect by piezoceramic material produces.It is said that piezoelectric constant d33 is big more, the amount of the electric charge that produces by piezoceramic material is big more, piezoceramic material is being used under the situation of piezoelectric transducer, and the output of piezoelectric transducer (susceptibility) is high more.
If m<1, because different with the PZT composition, the piezoelectric constant d33 of piezoceramic material reduces.If m>1.075, owing to form PbO, the piezoelectric constant d33 of piezoceramic material reduces.If x<0.470, the amount of Ti is very little in piezoceramic material, so that piezoceramic material can have the big rate of change of capacitance of Δ Cp>2500ppm/K.If 0.490≤x, piezoceramic material is tending towards low on piezoelectric constant d33, and by adding the big deterioration of thermal discharge piezoelectric constant d33.If y<0.020, because a small amount of Sn, the Curie temperature Tc of piezoceramic material may reduce.If n=0, owing to there are not Nb, the crystal stability deterioration of piezoceramic material.If n=1.000, owing to there is not Sb, the crystal stability of piezoceramic material is deterioration also.If z=0, owing to do not have Nb and Sb, the sintering temperature of piezoceramic material increases, so that the crystallite dimension of piezoceramic material can not be controlled in the aforementioned specified range.In addition, the big deterioration that shows piezoelectric constant d33 by the heating piezoceramic material.If 0.025≤z owing to exist too much Nb and Sb, piezoceramic material can have the big rate of change of capacitance of Δ Cp>2500ppm/K, maybe can reduce Curie temperature Tc.
In addition, piezoceramic material has 30 to 39nm crystallite dimension.Crystallite is defined as the territory (crystallite) that can be considered monocrystalline, and crystallite dimension is used as the parameter of degree of crystallinity (crystalline perfection), and be defined as the size in this territory.Most of materials are formed by a plurality of crystallites.If crystallite dimension is lower than 30nm, it is little that wherein all parts have the territory of identical crystalline orientation.This feasible piezoelectric property that is difficult to improve piezoceramic material.In theory, the piezoelectric property of piezoceramic material can improve by sintering (burning till (firing)) temperature that improves piezoceramic material and the crystallite dimension that increases piezoceramic material thus.Yet in fact, the composition of piezoceramic material destroys by the evaporation of volatile element Pb, Sn and Sb, so that when the sintering temperature of piezoceramic material became too high, the piezoelectric property of piezoceramic material was with deterioration rather than improve.Be appreciated that and sintering temperature by adjusting piezoceramic material and calcination condition and raw material powder pulverize size to control crystallite dimension be suitable.
On the other hand, because grain-size does not always reflect the micro-domains size of above-mentioned piezoceramic material, so be difficult to improve the piezoelectric property of piezoceramic material by the grain-size of control piezoceramic material.Yet, if grain-size is excessive, exist the interval of the intergranule of piezoceramic material to increase, thereby reduce by applying the trend of mechanical load to the amount of the electric charge of piezoceramic material generation.Thereby, in the present embodiment, with crystallite dimension rather than the grain-size controlled variable that acts on the piezoelectric property that improves piezoceramic material.
The crystallite dimension of piezoceramic material can pass through XRD (X-ray diffraction), and more specifically, by with the measurement of getting off: the X-ray diffraction pattern of taking piezoceramic material, determine the half-width (or integral breadth) at the peak of the scattering degree of expression incident X-bundle of rays in the X-ray diffraction pattern, then, with the following Scherrer equation of peak half width (integral breadth) substitution (Scherrer equation): D=K λ/(β cos θ), wherein D is a crystallite dimension; K is the Scherrer constant; λ is the X-beam wavelength; β is the half-width at half maximum of reflection X-bundle of rays; θ is a diffraction angle.
Preferably, piezoceramic material has the Curie temperature Tc more than 340 ℃.The thermotolerance of piezoceramic material strengthens along with Curie temperature Tc, so this piezoceramic material becomes and is more suitable for being used for high-temperature use such as motor car engine.
In 20 ℃ to 150 ℃ temperature range, piezoceramic material also preferably has the following rate of change of capacitance Δ Cp of 2500ppm/K.Because rate of change of capacitance Δ Cp reduces, so capacitor C p is little with the change quantitative change of temperature.Use in piezoelectric transducer under the situation of piezoceramic material, the susceptibility that this low rate of change of capacitance Δ Cp causes reducing piezoelectric transducer changes.
Further preferred, heat-resisting test is during 10 hours down at 250 ℃ in air, and the deterioration rate of the piezoelectric constant d33 of piezoceramic material (hereinafter only being called " piezoelectric constant deterioration rate Δ d33 ") is in-10%.Piezoelectric constant deterioration rate Δ d33 provides by following formula: { (the piezoelectric constant d33 after the heat-resisting test)-(initial piezoelectric constant d33) }/(initial piezoelectric constant d33).When the absolute value of piezoelectric constant deterioration rate Δ d33 reduced, the thermotolerance of piezoceramic material strengthened.
By at least one pair of anodal and negative pole element electrode is set on piezoceramic material, piezoceramic material advantageously can be applied on the piezoelectric element.Because piezoceramic material has satisfactory stability, thermotolerance and weather resistance as mentioned above, so the piezoelectric element that obtains is suitable for piezoelectric transducer such as combustion pressure sensor, detonation sensor, gyro sensor, piezo-resonator, piezoelectric vibrator, piezoelectric actuator, ultrasonic motor, fingerprint identification device or pressure-responsive device.
Piezoceramic material and piezoelectric element can be by following steps productions.

The powdered material of pulverizing is compacted into the shape of expectation.Shape about compacts has no particular limits.This compacts can be any suitable shape such as annular or dish type.For example, be desirably in about 30MPa and pass through the single shaft moulding down, then isostatic cool pressing (CIP) under about 150Mpa the powdered material compacting.For example under 900 to 1250 ℃ with this compacts sintering 1 to 10 hour.
Forming at least one pair of element electrode on the opposite side of sintered compact body by for example following steps: be under the situation of dish type when the sintered compact body, the relative panel surface of plane lapping sintered compact body, apply the apparent surface of conductive resin via silk screen printing to the grinding of sintered compact body, and roasting conductive resin suitably.Usually prepare conductive resin from conductive component, glass powder and organic medium.The example of conductive component is the powder of precious metal as silver, gold, palladium and platinum and alloy and its any mixture.As conductive component, also can use the powder of other metals such as copper and mickel and alloy thereof and its any mixture.The example of glass powder is for comprising SiO 2, Al 2O 3, ZnO and TiO 2Those.The example of organic medium is to be generally used for those of this kind conductive resin, as pure and mild ether.
At last, by in room temperature to about 200 ℃ temperature range, in transformer oil such as silicone oil, between electrode, applied about volts DS of 3 to 20kV/mm about 10 to 100 minutes, with the sintered compact body polarization.Polarization is optionally by applying high pressure to the sintered compact body, makes that the sintered compact body is overheated to carry out simultaneously in air.Can choose wantonly and remove electrode.The thus obtained sintered compact body and function that has or do not have element electrode can be made piezoceramic material.
A purposes of piezoelectric element is as shown in Figure 5, as the piezoelectric element 15 of off-resonance type detonation sensor 10.In the present embodiment, detonation sensor 10 is designed for so-called " center pass " off-resonance type detonation sensor of oil engine, described oil engine for short cylinder shape, has the transmitter pilot hole 12f that is formed centrally therein, on the cylinder body that is installed on engine as a whole.
