And adding PVB into the mixed powder, and granulating to obtain granulated powder, wherein the PVB accounts for 1% of the mass of the mixed powder. 5g of the granulated powder was placed in a die (length: 12cm, width: 1.2 cm) and maintained at a pressure of 40MPa for 3 minutes to obtain a green body.
And vertically placing the blank in a vacuum furnace along the length direction, and sintering at 1600 ℃ for 30min to obtain a preform, wherein the preform is provided with a third end and a fourth end which are oppositely arranged along the length direction of the preform.
The method comprises the steps of immersing a preform in dilute sulfuric acid solution (the concentration is 0.01 mol/L) completely, carrying out ultrasonic vibration to etch, lifting the preform at a speed of 1mm/min along the length direction of the preform until the preform leaves the dilute sulfuric acid solution completely, wherein a fourth end leaves the dilute sulfuric acid solution firstly, a third end leaves the dilute sulfuric acid solution finally, washing with water and drying in vacuum to obtain a conductive ceramic heating body, wherein the conductive ceramic heating body is provided with a first end and a second end which are oppositely arranged, the first end is the etched third end, the second end is the etched fourth end, and the mass ratio of zinc to copper in the conductive ceramic heating body is 1:0.1.
Example 4
Substantially the same as in example 3, except that the etching time was shorter, the mass ratio of zinc to copper in the conductive ceramic heat-generating body was 1:0.06.
Example 5
Substantially the same as in example 3, except that the mixed powder comprises 0.5 parts by weight of zinc powder and 4.5 parts by weight of copper powder, the mass ratio of zinc to copper in the conductive ceramic heat-generating body was 1:12.
Comparative example 1
Substantially the same as in example 3, except that etching was not performed, the preform was directly used as a conductive ceramic heat generating body.
Comparative example 2
Substantially the same as in example 3, except that 4.75 parts by weight of zinc powder and 0.25 part by weight of copper powder were changed to 5 parts by weight of copper powder.
Performance detection
The conductive ceramic heat-generating bodies prepared in the above examples and comparative examples were subjected to conductivity measurement in which one electrode was fixed to the second end (as the origin), and the voltage, current, and distance between the two electrodes were measured by changing the position of the other electrode on the conductive ceramic heat-generating body, and the average conductivity at positions at different distances from the origin in the length direction of the conductive ceramic heat-generating body was calculated, and the results are shown in table 1.
TABLE 1 conductivity detection results
After the metal electrodes were silk-screened on the surfaces of the conductive ceramic heating elements prepared in examples and comparative examples, external connection lines were soldered, the conductive ceramic heating elements were heated by energizing, after the temperature was raised to 250 ℃, the heating was stopped, the conductive ceramic heating elements were cooled to room temperature by a room temperature (25 ℃) fan, and were heated again to 250 ℃, after the above-mentioned steps were repeated 10000 times, the tensile strength of the bonding pads (the bonding pad length was less than 3.5mm, the width was less than 3mm, and the height was less than 1.5 mm) on the conductive ceramic heating elements of examples and comparative examples was measured according to the IPC-2221 standard, and the results were shown in table 2.

As can be seen from the above results, compared with the comparative example, the conductive ceramic has a gradient change in conductivity by acid etching, so that the temperature gradient of the conductive ceramic heating element after heating is changed, the etched non-acid-resistant metal material improves the thermal expansion of the conductive ceramic heating element, the stability of the conductive ceramic heating element, and the bonding performance (tensile strength) between the conductive ceramic heating element and the welding electrode due to the temperature change is improved, and the service performance and service life of the conductive ceramic heating element are improved, thereby being beneficial to the use of electronic cigarettes, and meanwhile, compared with examples 4-5, the conductive ceramic heating element prepared in examples 1-3 has a proper gradient change in conductivity, and the measured tensile strength is higher, thereby remarkably improving the service performance of the conductive ceramic heating element.
