With the increase of sintering temperature, the densities of the sintered pellets decreased from 5.54 to 5.42 g/cm3 and the average grain size increased from 4.1 to 11.7 μm. The breakdown field(E1 m A) decreased noticeably from 7138 to 920 V/cm with the increase of sintering temperature. The varistor ceramics sintered at 900 ℃ exhibited excellent nonohmic properties, which were 66 for the nonohmic coefficient and 77 μA/cm2 for the leakage current density. Concerning stability, the varistors sintered at 900 ℃ exhibited the strongest accelerated degradation characteristics, with ΔE1 mA =-9.2% for DC accelerated degradation stress of 0.85 E1 m A at 85 °C for 24 h.展开更多

The results showed that the increase of sintering temperature in the range from 875 to 950 °C decreased the densities of sintered pellets in the range of 5.55 to 5.45 g/cm3 and increased the average grain size in the range of 4.1 to 8.8 ？m. The breakdown field decreased noticeably from 7443 to 1064 V/cm with increasing sintering temperature from 875 to 950 °C. The varistor ceramics sintered at 900 ？C exhibited nonlinear properties, with 49.4 in the nonlinear coefficient and 0.21 m A/cm2 in the leakage current density. The dielectric constant increased greatly from 440.1 to 2197.2 with increasing sintering temperature from 875 to 950 °C; however, the dissipation factor exhibited a fluctuation between 0.237 and 0.5. These ceramic compositions and sintering conditions can be applied to the development of advanced multiplayer varistors with silver as an inner electrode.展开更多
