Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of NTC thermistor technology, specifically a high-precision NTC thermistor and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] In the rapid development of modern industry and technology, many fields have placed stringent demands on precise temperature measurement and control. Especially in industries such as metallurgy, special processing, automotive, and aerospace, the need for precise measurement and control of temperatures above 1000℃ is becoming increasingly prominent as technology continues to upgrade. Negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistors, due to their advantages such as high sensitivity, fast response, simple structure, and low cost, have become a highly promising high-temperature sensor solution and have attracted much attention.

[0003] The core component of an NTC thermistor is the NTC thermistor ceramic, whose resistivity decreases exponentially with increasing temperature. Common NTC thermistor ceramics are mostly spinel or other oxide ceramics, often containing one or more transition metal oxides such as CoO, NiO, and MnO. Depending on the chemical composition, the operating temperature range of NTC thermistors varies. High-temperature NTC thermistor ceramics generally operate in the range of 300-1000℃, with common examples being ZrO2-Y2O3 and ZrO2-CaO fluorite-type structural materials.

[0004] However, current high-temperature NTC thermistors face numerous challenges in practical applications and performance improvement. On the one hand, for thermistors to be stable in the ultra-wide temperature range of 25-1300℃ for a long time, the NTC thermistor ceramic needs to possess both high resistivity and a suitable material constant (B) value at high temperatures. However, there is a positive correlation between resistivity and B value, and achieving synergistic reverse regulation of the two has become a research challenge in the field of NTC thermistor ceramics. On the other hand, when the operating temperature rises, especially above 1000℃, traditional high-temperature NTC thermistor ceramics struggle to maintain stable performance due to changes in the conductivity mechanism and severe distortion of the crystal structure, exhibiting poor high-temperature aging characteristics. For example, common NTC thermistors made by sintering metal oxides such as manganese, chromium, iron, and copper are prone to decomposition of metal oxides in high-temperature environments, limiting their maximum operating temperature, and even at slightly lower temperatures, irreversible changes may occur.

[0005] Therefore, it is of great significance to invent a high-precision NTC thermistor for use in high-temperature environments. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-precision NTC thermistor and its preparation method to solve the problems raised in the prior art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A high-precision NTC thermistor, comprising, from bottom to top, a substrate layer, a sensitive layer, a protective layer, and a sandwich protective layer; the substrate layer is alumina; the sensitive layer is prepared by printing rare earth-based chromate paste; the protective layer is prepared by printing chromium oxide paste; the sandwich protective layer includes an alumina sol layer and a glass-ceramic glaze layer.

[0008] Furthermore, the preparation method of the rare earth-based chromate slurry includes the following steps: La2O3, Nd2O3, Sm2O3, Eu2O3, Gd2O3, and Cr2O3 were added to a ball mill jar and ball-milled for 8-10 hours with ethanol as the dispersant to obtain a slurry. The slurry was then vacuum-dried at 100-105℃, ground, heated to 1100-1105℃ for pre-sintering for 5-5.5 hours, and ground again to obtain a precursor powder. The precursor powder was then added to polysilazane, stirred evenly, and ultrasonically dispersed to obtain a rare earth-based chromate slurry.

[0009] Furthermore, in the preparation process of the precursor powder, the molar ratio of La:Nd:Sm:Eu:Gd:Cr is 1:1:1:1:1:5; in the preparation process of the rare earth-based chromate slurry, the mass ratio of precursor powder to polysilazane is (1-2):(3-4); and the particle size of the precursor powder is 3-5μm.

[0010] Furthermore, the method for preparing the chromium oxide slurry includes the following steps: Chromium oxide was added to polysilazane, stirred evenly, and ultrasonically dispersed to obtain chromium oxide slurry.

[0011] Furthermore, in the preparation process of chromium oxide slurry, the mass ratio of chromium oxide to polysilazane is 1:(1.5-2); the particle size of the chromium oxide is 1-1.5μm.

[0012] Furthermore, the thickness of the sensitive layer is 20-25 μm; the thickness of the protective layer is 20-25 μm; the thickness of the sandwich protective layer is 60 μm; the thickness of the alumina sol layer is 15-20 μm; and the thickness of the glass-ceramic glaze layer is 20-30 μm.

[0013] A method for preparing a high-precision NTC thermistor includes the following steps: printing a rare-earth-based chromate paste onto the surface of a substrate layer, sintering it at 1550-1555℃ for 15-16 hours to obtain a sensitive layer; after cooling, printing a chromium oxide paste onto the surface of the sensitive layer, annealing it at 1300-1305℃ for 1-1.5 hours to obtain a protective layer; after cooling, spraying an alumina sol onto the surface of the protective layer, annealing it at 1100-1105℃ for 1-1.5 hours to obtain an alumina sol layer; after cooling, spraying a glass-ceramic glaze onto the surface of the alumina sol layer, annealing it at 1200-1205℃ for 0.5-1 hours to obtain a glass-ceramic glaze layer; after cooling, spraying an alumina sol onto the surface of the glass-ceramic glaze layer, annealing it at 1100-1105℃ for 1-1.5 hours, cooling, and obtaining a high-precision NTC thermistor by attaching a silver-palladium electrode and platinum wire leads.

[0014] Furthermore, the glass-ceramic glaze has a solid content of 10-40 wt%, with the remainder being deionized water.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. This invention enhances structural stability through the "cocktail effect"; high configurational entropy reduces the Gibbs free energy change of lattice deformation, suppresses lattice distortion at high temperatures, and further improves its anti-aging performance in high-temperature environments, greatly reducing the resistance drift rate in high-temperature environments and broadening the application range of NTC thermistors.

[0016] 2. The sensitive layer prepared by this invention differs from traditional chromate ceramics in that its Cr-O bond length phrases LaCrO3 and YCrO3 have stronger bond energies, reducing Cr content. 3+ To Cr 4+ Oxidation of CrO 6 Octahedral distortion and CrO3 volatilization significantly reduce porosity and improve density, laying the foundation for stable operation in high-temperature environments.

[0017] 3. In order to further improve the stability of NTC thermistors at high temperatures, this invention uses polysilazane in the slurry to transform into SiOC ceramic under high temperature conditions, filling the gaps in the sensitive layer and further stabilizing the structure. At the same time, the chromium oxide protective layer can further inhibit the decomposition of sensitive layer particles and the overflow of chromium oxide at high temperatures, reducing material degradation at high temperatures.

[0018] 4. Furthermore, this invention utilizes a sandwich protective layer based on the design principle of "soft and hard combination". It leverages the self-healing and barrier function of the middle glass-ceramic glaze layer and the structural support and isolation function of the upper and lower ceramic layers. The three-layer structure is tightly integrated without obvious gaps. The densification of the glass layer blocks gas diffusion and material migration, while the stability of the ceramic layer solves the problem of volatilization and corrosion of the glass layer at high temperatures. Together, they inhibit the oxidation, sublimation and structural damage of the sensitive material, ultimately enabling the sensor to operate stably in high-temperature environments above 1300℃.

[0019] The glass-ceramic glaze melts at high temperatures, filling the pores and microcracks within the protective layer to form a dense, continuous structure. This prevents oxygen from diffusing inwards and the sublimation products of the sensitive material from escaping outwards, reducing oxidation and sublimation loss of the sensitive layer. Simultaneously, its stable crystalline and amorphous phases ensure structural stability at high temperatures, functioning as a self-healing and sealing agent for the "soft" component. The high-melting-point alumina ceramic, as the "hard" component, provides structural support and thermal stability for the entire protective layer, preventing the intermediate glass layer from being lost due to volatilization at high temperatures. The bottom layer isolates the sensitive film from the molten glass, preventing the sensitive layer from being eroded by the glaze; the top layer reduces high-temperature volatilization of the glass layer while enhancing the overall mechanical strength and wear resistance of the protective layer.
