摘要
The effect of Ti/Sr ratio on the grain growth of La-doped SrTiO3 ceramics sintered at 1400-1490 degrees C for 2h in 5%H-2-95%N-2 with precisely controlled Ti/Sr ratio of 0.96-1.04 was investigated. The grain size was maximum at Ti/Sr ratio of 1.000 and remarkably decreased with excess amounts of Sr and Ti above 1470 degrees C. However, the grain size was 2 mu m and almost constant below 1440 degrees C regardless of the composition. The bulk density was almost constant (97%) in the Ti excess region, but decreased remarkably by addition of excess Sr. The microstructure was divided into three types depending on the Ti/Sr ratio and sintering temperature; (1) Sr rich region, (2) Ti/Sr greater than or equal to 1 and above 1470 degrees C, (3) Ti/Sr greater than or equal to 1 and below 1440 degrees C. Tn the early stage, the nuclei of remarkably grown grains were formed and their amount and the grain growth rate were dependent on the Ti/Sr ratios.
