Purpose:

  • replacement of silver-containing pastas
  • elimination of necessity of ceramics roasting in inert atmosphere 

 

Region of application:                                                                                     

  • narrow band filters for TV- and radio receivers
  • piezoceramic sensors of ultrasound detectors of liquids and gases             
  • piezoceramic elements of ultrasound medical devices
  • antenna elements


Technical characteristics of metallic coating:

Parameters Сu Ni-P
Electrical resistance, Om·m (1.8−2.0)·10-8 (6−8)∙10-7
Adhesion strength, N/m 800−1200 900−1500
Capacity to soldering easily soldered, resolderings are possible soldered with active flux
Stability in ultrasound field, months - not less than 6
Depth of metal coating, µm 2−15 and more 2−15 and more

Advantages:

  • economy of silver
  • keeping of high Q-factor (reserve up to 1000 it.) of metallized ceramic parts at temporary and thermal stability of other parameters
  • capability to put coatings with depth from some up to 30–40 µm at small spread of thickness
  • capability to metallize of narrow cylindrical holes
  • capability to product coatings, which are capable of long-lived exploitation in ultrasound field
  • decrease of the cost of metal coating'sdeposition process in 2–3 times
