ABSTRACT

In this study, lead-free 94Bi0,5Na0,5TiO3-6BaTiO3 (94NBT-6BT) ceramics were fabricated by solid-state synthesis method at ambient atmosphere. Glassy phase and rounded particles in 94NBT-6BT was observed with increasing Mn content. The effects of doping manganese on the ferroelectric properties of 94NBT-6BT bulk ceramics were evaluated. From the XRD results of the calcined powders, peaks were slightly changed to higher 2 theta value while increasing manganese ratio. Multivalence additive Mn ions act as acceptor dopant in 94NBT-6BT structure at ambient atmosphere. Samples were sintered from 1075 ℃ to 1175 ℃ for 2 hours to obtain highest piezoelectric values. SEM results show that glassy phase and rounded particles in 94NBT-6BT was observed with increasing Mn content so, bulk density was enhanced up to 1125C. From the results, 0.3 wt% manganese doped 94NBT-6BT samples have highest electromechanical coupling factor about 0.23, mechanical coupling factor (Qm) 150 and d33 110 pC/N respectively. Further work, 94NBT-6BT and Mn-doped 94NBT-6BT multilayer actuators were manufactured by water-based tape casting technique. The active area was 49 mm2 MLA and was fabricated by using Ag-Pd internal electrode without Pd-Bi reaction at the electrode-ceramic interface. Hysterisis loop measurements of manufactured lead free actuators were done by using Aixacct CMA module. Remnant polarization values of Mn-doped 94NBT-6BT MLA for a layer were higher than 6 µC/cm2.
