In the microscopic realm of electronic components, the electrical properties of materials dictate the performance limits of devices. When temperatures exceed the 1000°C threshold, ordinary materials often fail to maintain functionality—yet certain specialized ceramics exhibit unique stability in extreme environments. Congtical Laboratory’s latest high-temperature dielectric test report uncovers the electrical behavior profile of a specific piezoelectric ceramic material under 1000°C conditions.
The parallel plate method operates as follows:
- A sample of the ceramic material is placed between two electrodes.
- The capacitance of the material is measured using the test setup.
- Dielectric constant is calculated from the capacitance data.
- In practice, the two electrodes are integrated into a fixture that secures the dielectric material. A source meter computes key parameters—including dielectric constant, dielectric loss, impedance, and phase angle.
- Custom-developed software reads these parameters in real time, generates plots, and enables temperature-dependent dielectric testing.
Congtical Laboratory’s self-developed 1000°C temperature-variable dielectric test bench achieves stable temperature transitions from room temperature to 1000°C, with a control accuracy of ±0.1°C. Key design features include:
- A hybrid system combining PID temperature control and water-cooled circulation (ensures internal chamber temperature stability).
- Electromagnetic shielding (eliminates external interference).
- Compatibility with the Hioki IM3536 LCR Meter (enables simultaneous dielectric response curve plotting across 10 frequency bands, 4Hz – 8MHz)—capturing dynamic electrical property changes like high-speed imaging.

The testing process requires precision comparable to microsurgery:
- Platinum electrodes and ceramic samples are assembled with micron-level alignment.
- Four sets of probes collect real-time data (functioning like "tactile nerves" for the system).
- Temperature is increased at a steady rate of 2°C per minute.
- Custom software synchronously generates 3D graphs tracking:
- ε-T (dielectric constant vs. temperature)
- D-T (dielectric loss vs. temperature)
- Z-T (impedance vs. temperature)
- θ-T (phase angle vs. temperature)
- A critical observation: The material’s insulation performance peaks around 300°C—providing key parameters for high-temperature electronic device design.
The experiment revealed frequency-dependent electrical behavior in the ceramic material under high temperatures:
- Low-frequency dielectric constant increases significantly with rising temperature.
- High-frequency performance remains stable even at extreme temperatures.
This dual stability (across low and high frequencies) makes the material ideal for applications such as high-temperature sensors and high-frequency electronic packaging. Molecular dynamics simulations further confirmed that the coupling between the material’s internal lattice vibrations and temperature fields is the primary driver of its electrical behavior.
This study not only validates the material’s high-temperature stability but also provides theoretical support for next-generation heat-resistant electronic devices. Congtical Laboratory is currently collaborating with tech enterprises to explore engineering applications in:
- New energy vehicles
- Aerospace systems
While traditional materials degrade under high temperatures, these advanced ceramics—capable of withstanding 1000°C—are opening new pathways for high-end manufacturing innovation.
