- Abstract
- In this study, lead-free 0.8(Bi,Na)TiO3-0.2(Sr,Ti)O3 piezoelectric ceramics were prepared using a two-step sintering process to analyze their sintering mechanisms. Two-step sintering process has benefits of being able to be conducted at lower temperatures than conventional sintering process, but the complicated sintering mechanisms involved in this process have not been yet fully investigated. Therefore, in the present study, two-step sintering mechanism for lead-free piezoelectric ceramics was analyzed by estimating the activation energy required depending on the sintering conditions. Using the two-step sintering process, the piezoelectric charge and electromechanical coupling coefficients improved from 146 pC/N and 0.347 to 163 pC/N and 0.377, respectively. By comparing the grain-growth mechanisms for the conventional and two-step sintering processes, it appeared that the sintering mechanisms differed. By introducing the two-step sintering process, piezoelectric ceramics with improved piezoelectric charge and electromechanical coupling coefficients were produced. © 2023 The Author(s).
