Abstract: | The firing atmosphere (air, oxygen, and argon) was found to affect the electrical and mechanical properties of an air-fireable
electrically conductive glass-free silver-based thick film. For the optimum firing temperature of 930°C, air results in the
lowest resistivity, but a minor amount of pinholes; oxygen results in the largest thickness, the smoothest surface, and no
pinhole; and argon results in the highest resistivity, large pinholes, the smallest thickness, vanishing of macroscopic parts
of the film, and the poorest scratch resistance. Argon gives higher resistivity than air or oxygen at essentially all firing
temperatures. |
