Abstract

Some materials have been applied in many surrounding conditions as sensors, electronic devices and other applications. Inexpensive and reliable temperature and flow measurement are important in many applications including, for example, environmental monitoring and control, indoor air conditioning, weather forecasting, automotive and aerospace systems. Special ceramics are an example of such materials. Neodymium-Barium-Copper is a special ceramic that has high electrical conductivity and airflow sensor characteristics. This property is influenced by high energy milling of the powder, when it is not sintered. To evaluate the influence of this type of milling it was carried out an analysis of particle size as a function of milling time. SEM images and granulometric analysis showed significant reduction of particle size with the increase of milling time. For longer times of milling the mixture of precursor powders is favored, resulting in better homogeneity of the ceramic. This is reflected in the properties of airflow sensor.
