Preparation of BCB Powder and its Effects on the Sintering Behaviour and Microwave Dielectric Properties of MCT Ceramics

Article Preview

Abstract:

The BCB (BaCu(B2O5)) powders were synthesized by solid state reaction method and its effects on the microstructures, the phase formation and the microwave dielectric properties of MCT (Mg0.95Ca0.05TiO3) ceramics were investigated. BaO and B2O3 first forms BaB2O4, and then BaB2O4 reacts with CuO forming BCB. The sintering temperature of MCT ceramics with as-synthesized BCB addition can be effectively lowered from 1450°C to 1100°C due to the liquid phase effect. The formation of second phase (MgTi2O5) was restrained. The 3wt% BCB-doped MCT ceramics sintered at 1100°C for 3h have optimum microwave dielectric properties of Kr=21.5, Q×f=28000GHz, and TCF=-3.3ppm/°C. Obviously, BCB could be a suitable sintering aid that improves densification and microwave dielectric properties of the MCT ceramics.
