Abstract
[0.94(Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3-0.06BaTiO3]0.98-(LiNbO3)0.02 (BNBTLN) piezoelectric ceramic coating was fabricated by thermal spray process on stainless steel substrates with thermal barrier coating (TBC) as an intermediary layer. The morphology, structure, and electrical properties of the thermal-sprayed BNBTLN coatings after furnace heat treatment (F-HT) and plasma torch heat treatment (P-HT) were studied, respectively. The BNBTLN coatings after F-HT and P-HT both had the coexisting rhombohedral and tetragonal perovskite phases and exhibited excellent electrical properties, with an effective piezoelectric coefficient d33 of 68 p.m./V and 40 p.m./V, respectively. These results reveal that high quality piezoelectric coatings can be achieved by the P-HT method, which is promising for scaling up the fabrication of piezoelectric ceramic coatings.
