The resistance material is adapted to be applied to and fired on a substrate to form an electrical resistor which will readily fuse or open when subjected to an overload to prevent excessive overheating of the resistor.
SPECIFICATION comprises a mixture of a glassfrit and finely divided particles of a conductive material. The mixture is applied to the, surface of a ceramic substrate and fired. When cooled, there is provideda film ofglass having the particles of the conductive material dispersed throughout the glass film. To provide a resistor of a desired resistance value, the resistance material film is generally in the form of an elongated, narrow path. Also, the resistance material film is generally coated with a plastic material to protect it from mechanical damage and from. moisture and other contaminates in the atmosphere.
, In the use of such vitreous enamel resistors a problem has arisen when the resistors are subjected to overload conditions. All resistors, including those made with vitreous enamel resistance materials, heat up when placed under a load in use. The higher the'load the hotter. the resistors will become. It has been found that resistors 'made with the vitreous enamel resistance materials when subjected to overload conditions heat up to such an extent that they can cause the protective coatings or other flammable material near the resistor to catch fire. To prevent i such a dangerous condition from occurring, it would be sistor made therefrom'which can be made over a wide range-of resistance-values with stable resistance characteristics and which will not excessively overheat when subjected to an overload condition.
It is a furtherobject ofthe present invention to provide a vitreous enamel resistancematerial and aresistor made therefrom which will fuse or open to a high resistance condition when subjected to an overload condition, so as to prevent excessive overheating of the resistor.
Other objects will appear hereinafter.
The invention accordingly comprises a composition of matter and the product formed therewith possessing the characteristics, properties and relation of constituents which will be exemplified in the composition hereinafter described, and the scope of the invention will be indicated in the claims.
The drawing is a cross-sectional view, on a highly exaggerated scale, of a portion of a resistor made from the resistance material of the present invention.
In general, the vitreous enamel resistance material of the present invention comprises a mixture of a glass frit and finely divided particles of a mixture of tantalum carbide (TaC) and titanium (Ti). By finely divided particles it is meant an average particle size of not greater than about 5 microns. The mixture of the tantalum carbide and titanium is present in the resistance material in the amount of 10% to by weight. The ratio of the tantalum carbide to titanium in the resistance material may be varied depending on the resistivity and temperature coefiicient of resistance desired for the resistance material. Increasing the amount of the tantalum carbide with respect to the amount of titanium inthe resistance material will increase the resistivity and will make the temperature coeflicient of resistance more positive. Thus, by adjusting the ratio of the amount of tantalum carbide to the amount of titanium and varying the amount of the conductive mixture in the resistance material, a desired temperature coefiicient of resistance canbe obtained at a desired resistivity of the resistance material.
The glass frit used in the resistance material of the present invention may be of any well known composition which has a softening point below that of the tantalum carbide and titanium. The glass frits preferably used are the borosilicate frits, such as lead borosilicate frit, bis muth, cadmium, barium, calcium or other alkaline earth borosilicate frits. The preparation of such glass frits is well known and consists, for example, of melting together the constituents of the glass in the form of the oxides of the constituents, and pouring such molten composition into water to form the frit. The batch ingredients may, of course, be any compound that will yield the desired oxides under the usual conditions of frit production. For example, boric oxide will be obtained from boric aicd, barium oxide will be produced from barium carbonate, etc. The coarse frit is preferably milled in a ball mill with water to reduce the particle size of the frit andto obtain 'a'frit'bf'subs'tantially uniform size.
To make the resistance material of the present invention, commercially available tantalum carbide and titanium are each pre-milled to produce each of those materials in'p'owdered form of the desired particle size. The tantalum carbide, titanium and glass frit in the desired proportionsto achieve a resistance material of the desired resistivity and temperature coefiicient of resistance are then throughly mixed together, such as by ball milling in water or an organic medium such as butyl carbitol acetate. After the ingredients are blended, the viscosity of the mixture-is adjusted such as by removing or adding the liquid medium, to the proper viscosity for the desired manner of. applying the resistance material to make a resistor.
To make a resistor with the resistance material of the present invention, the resistance material is applied in a uniform thickness on the surface of a ceramic body. The ceramic body may be comprised of any ceramic material which can withstand the firing temperature of the resistance material composition. For example, the ceramic body may be glass, alumina, steatite, porcelain, barium titanate or the like. The resistance material may be coated on the ceramic body by brushing, dipping, spraying or screen stencil application. The ceramic body and resistance material coating is then fired in a conventional furnace at a temperature at which the glass frit softens but less than the melting temperature of the tantalum carbide and titanium. The resistance material is preferably fired in a nonoxidizing atmosphere, such as argon, helium or nitrogen. When the ceramic body and resistance material are cooled, the vitreous enamel hardens to bond the resistance material to the ceramic body. When the resistance material is fired, the titanium reacts with the glass of the frit to form semiconducting suboxides of titanium, TiOx. Thus, the conducting particles in the fired resistance material are tantalum carbide and the titanium oxide. In many cases, the titanium particles are not completely converted to the suboxides and relic titanium structures remain in the material. The starting material can also include the suboxides of titanium in place of part or all of the titanium metal to produce the resistors with the desired characteristics.
Referring to the drawing, there is shown a resistor, generally designated as 10, made from the resistance material of the present invention. Resistor 10 comprises a ceramic body 12 having a layer 14 of the resistance material coated on a surface thereof. The resistance material layer 14 comprises a glass matrix 16 having the tantalum carbide particles 18 and the TiO particles 20 embedded in and dispersed throughout the glass matrix 16.
Table I shows, the electrical characteristics, i.e. resistance and temperature coeflicient of resistance, of a number of resistors of the present invention having various total amounts of the tantalum carbide and titanium and various ratios of the tantalum carbide to titanium. The resistors were made in the manner described above, and the firing temperature and time are also shown in Table I.

From Table I it appears that the optimum range of tantalum carbide and titanium is between 45% and 70% by weight of the composition for producing minimized temperature coefiicient of resistance characteristics for the resistors.
Table II shows the electrical characteristics of 'a miniber of resistors of the present invention made with glass frits of diiferent compositions. In each of these resistors the total amount of tantalum carbide and titanium is 67% TABLE II Firing conditions Temp. coefl. of Resistrelistance Temp. Time, ance, Glass frit o 01 min. sz n 0. +15o 0.
