Abstract
The hardening of (Bi0.5Na0.5)0.85Ba0.15TiO3 (BNBT15) piezoelectric ceramics was investigated by adding raw materials with Bi0.5Na0.5MnO3 (BNM). BNBT15-BNM exhibited a single phase of BNBT15. BNM acts as a sintering aid for BNBT15 to produce domain pinning, and produces tetragonality based on BaTiO3 for increased stability. BNBT15-BNM hardens piezoelectric material with low Mn content, increasing the coercive field and mechanical quality factor. The mechanical quality factor of BNBT15-BNM (0.75 wt%) exceeded 1200. In high-power conditions, BNBT15-BNM (0.75 wt%) exhibited a vibration velocity twice that of hard-PZT. The quality factor gradually decreased with a high vibration velocity. The equivalent stiffness slightly decreased with strain, and the mechanical nonlinearity was much less than that of hard-PZT. BNBT15-BNM (0.75 wt%) has superior high-power properties, and is expected to be a candidate material for use in lead-free piezoelectric ceramics in high-power applications.
