Zinc oxide-based ceramic

Two types of ceramic varistors are manufactured. Zinc oxide based ceramic varistors were developed in 1970. They exhibit a high non-linearity on voltage-current characteristics. Their a value is in the range of 40-50, and the adjustable to values in the range from 50 to 250 V/mm. Strontium titanate based varistors were developed in 1980. The feature of these varistors is their larger electrostatic capacitance compared with ZnO varistors. The SrTi03 ceramics are... 

It was also found that the electrical resistivity of ceramics based on silicon carbide, and, more recently, zinc oxide could be made sensitive to the applied field strength. This has allowed the development of components that absorb transient surges in power lines and suppress sparking between relay contacts. The non-linearity in resistivity is now known to arise because of potential barriers between the crystals in the ceramic.

For the range up to 170 °C, most sensors are based on NTCs. These resistors are made of powder mixtures of metal oxides such as iron, zinc, cobalt, manganese, copper, and nickel. These powder mixtures are formed into discs or wafers and sintered at high temperatures between 1000 and 1400 °C. The cured product is a ceramic material. 

As stated in the anode descriptions earlier, there are also two NACE test methods for cathodic protection anodes. These are TM 0294 on embeddable anodes (mixed metal oxide coated titanium, mesh, ribbon, tnbes, rods and conductive ceramic tubes) and TMO1105-2005 on organic-based condnc-tive coating anodes. In addition there is a specification for applying thermal sprayed zinc anodes to concrete American Welding Society (2002). 

Silver alloys provide the ability to wet and join base metals at low temperatures while providing good strength. Because low temperatures can be used for silver soldering and brazing, the risk of surface oxidation and heat distortion is reduced. Silver alloys usually comprise eutectic mixtures of tin, zinc, or copper, with lead and cadmium being used in some applications. The Ag-Cu alloys have been used with ceramics to produce electrical parts, and they have been used to braze carbide inserts to drills. The carbide inserts can easily be adjusted or replaced by melting the alloy.
