The invention relates to a method for manufacturing non-Bi low-
voltage ZnO
varistor ceramic materials, and belongs to the technology field of an electric component as well as the material manufacture thereof.
Zinc oxide is added with the
oxide powder of any one from
doping elements such as Al, Fe, Eu, Pr, La, Ce, Nd, B, Si, Mn, Cr, Co, Pb, Ti and nanometer ZnO to compose mixed raw materials, the raw materials are mixed, ground, dried, pressed into blocks and pre-sintered at 600 DEG C to 750 DEG C, and then are put into a ball milling pot for being milled, granules are made after the milled material is dried and screened, the
powder material is pressed into small round slices which are then heated to 600 DEG C to 720 DEG C for thermal latex exuding, and the low-
voltage ZnO
varistor ceramic materials can be obtained after the round slices are further sintered and cooled to the
room temperature; furthermore, the
surface processing and the silver plating are carried out, and the products are encapsulated after being tested, thereby obtaining low-
voltage ZnO varistors. The method has the advantages that the manufacturing process is simple; the cost is lower; the performance is good; the application range is wide; the
repeatability, the stability and the consistency of the produced varistors are good; the electrical parameter values have obvious improvements and so on.
