Abstract:

Fabrication of Fe2TiO5 pellet/disk ceramics-based NTC thermistor has been performed, in order to know the effect of sintering tempertures on the electrical characteristic of 1.0 mole % MnO2 doped-Fe2TiO5 ceramics. These ceramics were made by mixing commercial powders of Fe2O3, TiO2 and MnO2 with proportional composition to produce Fe2TiO5 based ceramic. The raw pellet was sintered at 1100 °C, 1200 °C and 1300 °C temperature for 2 hours in air. Analysis of the microstructure and crystal structure were performed by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) respectively. XRD pattern showed that all of Fe2TiO5 ceramics made ​​at various sintering temperatures are orthorhombic The SEM images showed that the grain size of pellet ceramics increase with increasing sintering temperatures. From electrical data that was measured at temperature 30-300 °C, showed that the addition of sintering temperature decreased the thermistor constant (B), activation energy (Ea), thermistor sensitivity (α) and room temperature resistance (RRT). Thermistor constant (B) of the ceramics was relatively big of 5778 K to 6707 K. The value of B indicated that ceramics made in this work fit the market requirement for NTC thermistor.
