Abstract

Abstract Ceramic materials suitable for use in varistors, consisting essentially of a major proportion of SrTiO 3 , the balance being (1) at least one of Nb 2 O 5 , Ta 2 O 5 , WO 3 , La 2 O 3 CeO 2 , Nd 2 O 3 , Y 2 O 3 , Sm 2 O 3 Pr 6 O 11 , Eu 2 O 3 , and Dy 2 O 3 , for making the materials semiconductive, and (2) Na 2 O, for making surge-proof the varistors made from the ceramic materials. As desired, the compositions may further include one or more of Ag 2 O, CuO, MnO 2 , and SiO 2 for a higher nonlinearity coefficient. Containing Na 2 O in proportions ranging from approximately 0.02 to 2.50 mole parts, the ceramic compositions make possible the provision of varistors suffering little from current or voltage surges in use.
