<p>5D3717 SINTERLESS ZINC OXIDE VARISTOR DEVICES Sinterless zinc oxide varistor devices are prepared in one embodiment by flame spraying premixed zinc oxide and additive metal oxide powders onto a refractory substrate. The coated substrate is then treated by an abrasive removal process to form a trimmable resistor. A further embodiment comprises the use of a plasma spray process wherein carbonates and nitrates of the varistor constituents are oxidized in situ by entrainment within an oxygen gas stream and directing the plasma upon a rotating substrate. Ultra pure zinc oxide varistor devices having excellent electrical properties can be prepared in this manner.</p> |
