Abstract Ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation is currently used in countless applications to maintain a system's operational integrity. Piezoelectric transducers are the devices commonly used in this field to search for defects. A sol-gel fabrication method utilizing a spray-on deposition method has proven to produce ultrasonic transducers useful in harsh environments. This procedure produces thin film transducers, which adhere directly to a substrate making it favorable in use with irregular surface geometries. These transducers operate at relatively high frequencies due to their minute thickness. The objective of this research is to investigate the ability for low frequency operation into the low kilohertz range. Depositing thicker layers of piezoelectric composites, including bismuth titanate and lead zirconate titanate, led to adhesion problems between the metal substrates and ceramic material. Delamination of the piezoelectric elements was determined to be caused by a large mismatch in thermal expansion coefficients. Adaptations were made to the stainless steel substrates being used in order to overcome this problem. Additionally, invar substrates were used to greatly decrease the mismatch in thermal expansion coefficients between the substrate and ceramic composite. Fabricated samples were found to operate efficiently as longitudinal transducers at frequen- cies well into the low kilohertz range. Transducers were tested in modes of pulse-echo and through-transmission, acting as both the transmitter and receiver. The results presented in this thesis show that sol-gel spray-on fabricated transducers have the ability to operate effectively at frequencies as low as 250 kHz. iii Table of Contents List of Figures vi List of Tables viii Acknowledgments ix Chapter 1 Introduction 1 1.1 Introduction to Piezoelectricity . 1 1.2 Temperature Dependence and Electric Domains . 3 1.3 Linear Theory of Piezoelectricity . 5 1.4 Lead Zirconate Titanate . 6 1.5 Bismuth Titanate . 8 1.6 Sintering . 10 1.6.1 Sintering Techniques . 11 1.7 Thesis Objectives and Outline . 13 Chapter 2 Sol-gel Fabrication 14 2.1 Introduction to the Sol-gel Procedure . 14 2.2 Fabrication Process . 15 2.2.1 Sample Preparation . 16 2.2.2 Bismuth Titanate/Bismuth Titanate . 16 2.2.3 PZT/Bismuth Titanate . 19 2.2.4 Sintering . 21 2.2.5 Electrodes and Poling . 22 Chapter 3 Previous Work 24 Chapter 4 Low Frequency Ultrasonic Transducers 28 4.1 Thickness Dependence . 28 4.2 Initial Testing . 29 iv 4.3 Adhesion Difficulties and Solutions . 31 4.4 Thermal Expansion . 32 4.5 Attempts of Solving Adhesion Problem . 34 4.5.1 Matching Layer . 35 4.5.2 Flat-Bottom Well Samples . 36 4.6 Shallow Well Samples . 37 4.6.1 Low Frequency Testing of the Shallow Well Transducers . 41 4.7 Conclusions . 45 Chapter 5 Invar 46 5.1 The Invar Anomaly . 46 5.2 Invar Substrates . 48 5.3 FFT Analysis . 55 Chapter 6 Conclusions 58 6.1 Results . 58 6.2 Recommendations for Future Work . 59 Bibliography 61 v List of Figures 1.1 Two-dimensional representation of bismuth titanate (Bi4T i3O12) single domain; (a) unstrained and (b) under a tensile load.

    sensors Review High Temperature Ultrasonic Transducers: A Review Rymantas Kazys * and Vaida Vaskeliene Ultrasound Research Institute, Kaunas University of Technology, Barsausko st. 59, LT-51368 Kaunas, Lithuania; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: There are many fields such as online monitoring of manufacturing processes, non-destructive testing in nuclear plants, or corrosion rate monitoring techniques of steel pipes in which measure- ments must be performed at elevated temperatures. For that high temperature ultrasonic transducers are necessary. In the presented paper, a literature review on the main types of such transducers, piezoelectric materials, backings, and the bonding techniques of transducers elements suitable for high temperatures, is presented. In this review, the main focus is on ultrasonic transducers with piezoelectric elements suitable for operation at temperatures higher than of the most commercially available transducers, i.e., 150 ◦C. The main types of the ultrasonic transducers that are discussed are the transducers with thin protectors, which may serve as matching layers, transducers with high temperature delay lines, wedges, and waveguide type transducers. The piezoelectric materi- als suitable for high temperature applications such as aluminum nitride, lithium niobate, gallium orthophosphate, bismuth titanate, oxyborate crystals, lead metaniobate, and other piezoceramics are analyzed. Bonding techniques used for joining of the transducer elements such as joining with glue, soldering,

V. Kumar Industrial Supervisor: W. Averdieck Declaration of Originality I am submitting this dissertation for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Cambridge. The said thesis contains work I carried out between October 2006 and November 2009 at the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy, University of Cambridge, under the academic supervision of Dr. R. V. Kumar. I state that, except where indicated, the work described is to the best of my knowledge, original and my own work. This dissertation does not exceed the word limit of 60,000 words. Dalibor Krsmanovic Darwin College, Cambridge i Abstract The review of current technologies for measurement of gas velocity in stack flow applications is undertaken and it is shown that the ultrasonic time-of-flight method is the most suitable and offers a number of advantages over alternatives. Weakness of current piezoelectric based transducers are identified as the inability to operate at temperatures above 400 °C due to limitation of piezoelectric materials used, and a case for development of an alternative high temperature material is put forward. A novel and highly enhanced, lead free piezoelectric material, suitable for continuous operation at temperatures above 400 °C has been engineered for ultrasonic gas velocity sensor applications. Structural modification of pure bismuth titanate (Bi4Ti3O12) or BIT compound, through multi-doping at the Ti-site, has been found to enhance piezoelectric properties accompanied with a mild reduction in Curie temperature, Tc.

Results on the phase, dielectric and electromechanical properties of single crystals and polycrystals for this new family of relaxor perovskite ferroelectrics are presented. The actuation and polarization characteristics in this system were found to be highly sensitive (within 2 mol%) to cation doping levels, and tailored compositions successfully isolated predominantly electrostrictive actuation at room temperature.

  • Mechanisms of Electro-Mechanical Coupling in Polycrystalline Piezoelectric Ceramic Materials
    MECHANISMS OF ELECTRO-MECHANICAL COUPLING IN POLYCRYSTALLINE PIEZOELECTRIC CERAMIC MATERIALS A Thesis By Mohammad Jahangir Hossain Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Materials Science and Engineering Faculty of Science University of New South Wales April 2016 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Hossain First name: Mohammad Jahangir Other name/s: Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: School of Materials Science and Engineering Faculty: Science Title: Mechanisms of electro-mechanical coupling in polycrystalline piezoelectric ceramic materials Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) Piezoelectric ceramics have extensive applications in electronic industries as sensor and actuator device materials. Most of the currently used piezoelectric ceramics in these electronic devices are based on PbZrxTi1-xO3 (PZT). Due to international consent towards removing toxic substances from the electronic and electrical equipment and biological harmful effects of Pb to the environment, it is necessary to find lead-free compositions with comparable properties to those of PZT. Promising lead-free piezoceramics are mainly based on solid solutions incorporating either Bi1/2Na1/2TiO3 (BNT) or NaxK1-xNbO3. Although lead-free compositions of piezoelectric materials have been reported with enhanced properties, no single lead-free piezoelectric material has been identified for the replacement of PZT over the wide operating conditions that it is currently used for. To improve the electro-mechanical properties of these materials further will require deep knowledge about the underlying structural origin of electric-field-induced strains. A sample cell has been developed, capable of measuring the structural variations of piezoceramics under applied electric field using low-energy X-ray scattering techniques, while simultaneously collecting macroscopic strain data using a linear displacement sensor.
