摘要:
A ceramic composition for dielectrics, consisting essentially of an inorganic dielectric material including at least one electrically insulating glass and at least one organic binder, and further comprising at least one inorganic peroxide. The inorganic peroxide serves to facilitate burnout or removal of the organic binder during firing of the ceramic composition and minimizes the content of residual carbon in the fired ceramic composition. The inorganic peroxide is preferably selected from the group consisting of calcium peroxide, strontium peroxide, barium peroxide, zinc peroxide and cadmium peroxide, and present preferably in an amount of 0.1-40% by weight. Also disclosed is a process of manufacturing a ceramic circuit board using the ceramic composition stated above.
摘要:
An ink jet print head is disclosed which includes a flow path unit with nozzles, a pressure generating unit disposed on the flow path unit and having ink pressure chambers formed behind the respective nozzles, and piezoelectric/electrostrictive elements each disposed on a wall defining a corresponding ink pressure chamber, for deforming the wall to change a pressure of the ink pressure chamber, whereby the ink in the ink pressure chamber is jetted through the corresponding nozzle. The pressure generating unit includes a spacer plate having windows which closed by a closure plate and a connecting plate disposed on the spacer plate, so as to give the respective ink pressure chambers. The connecting plate has communication holes through which the ink pressure chambers communicate with the nozzles. The spacer plate, closure plate and connecting plate are formed from respective ceramic green sheets, which are laminated on each other and fired into an integral ceramic structure as the pressure generating unit. The piezoelectric/electrostrictive element includes a pair of electrodes and a piezoelectric/electrostrictive layer, which are formed by a film-forming method on an outer surface of the closure plate.

摘要:
A method of producing a piezoelectric/electrostrictive actuator including preparing first, second and third ceramic green sheets, and laminating the green sheets to form an unfired ceramic body which is then fired. The first, second and third green sheets form spacer, closure, and connecting plates, respectively, the spacer plate having a plurality of windows. An outer surface of the connecting plate that is remote from the spacer plate is machined so as to have a maximum waviness of not larger than 50 .mu.m. Additionally, piezoelectric/electrostrictive elements are formed on an outer surface of the closure plate over respective pressure chambers defined by the windows in the spacer plate.

摘要:
A method for controlling the shrinkage of ceramic formed bodies is provided, including performing a preliminary test to determine an average shrinkage of ceramic formed bodies made from test lots of a ceramic powder, and determining a linear correlation between the average shrinkage and measured amounts of the ground test lots removed from a ball mill during a specific milling time interval. A batch of the ceramic powder is then ground, an amount of the ground ceramic powder removed from the ball mill during the specific time interval is measured, and the linear correlation is used to estimate the shrinkage of a ceramic body made therefrom. The difference between a target shrinkage and the estimated shrinkage is determined, and one or more of the processing conditions used to form the ceramic body are changed to offset the difference.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method for controlling the shrinkage of formed ceramic bodies, by which it is possible to suppress fluctuation of the shrinkage of formed ceramic bodies and to cause the shrinkage to approximate the target rate. The method comprises controlling the shrinkage of formed ceramic bodies in manufacturing ceramic products by a predetermined manufacturing process from ceramic powder ground by a dry-type ball mill. Such control can be achieved by determining a correlation between the change in the amount of the ground ceramic powder taken out from the dry-type ball mill with elapse time and the shrinkage during firing of the formed ceramic body, and thereafter adjusting the manufacturing conditions based on the previously-determined conditions for the above-mentioned manufacturing process and the correlation with respect to the shrinkage obtained.
