Abstract

In this study, lead-free Piezoelectric <TEX>$(Na_{0.47}K_{0.47}Sr_{0.03}Ca_{0.03})(Nb_{0.94}Ti_{0.06})O_3$</TEX>-0.1 <TEX>$MnO_2$</TEX> ceramics were fabricated using mixed oxide method and the effects of various sintering temperature on the structural and electrical properties were investigated. For the <TEX>$(Na_{0.47}K_{0.47}Sr_{0.03}Ca_{0.03})(Nb_{0.94}Ti_{0.06})O_3$</TEX>-0.1 <TEX>$MnO_2$</TEX> (NKN-SCT-<TEX>$MnO_2$</TEX>) ceramics sintered at temperatures of <TEX>$1,025{\sim}1,100^{\circ}C$</TEX>. The results indicated that all specimens were perovskite single phase formation without any second phase. It has been shown that relative density is increased to increasing sintering temperature. When the sintered temperature at <TEX>$1,075^{\circ}C$</TEX>, highest sintered density and maximum value of <TEX>$4.45g/cm^3$</TEX>. Average grain size is increased to increasing sintering temperature. The electromechanical coupling factor, dielectric constant, dielectric loss, d33 and curie temperature at the sintering temperature <TEX>$1,075^{\circ}C$</TEX> of NKN-SCT-<TEX>$MnO_2$</TEX> specimens were 0.22, 511, 0.033, 103 and <TEX>$380^{\circ}C$</TEX>, respectively.
