Firstly, the material system and formulation were studied. The appropriate amount of MgO was added to the traditional MnCoNiO ternary system to form MnNiCoMgO quaternary material, which made the parameters and stability of the components. The requirements for the properties and precision are met; in addition, a large number of tests are carried out on the preparation method and the sintering process of the powder material to optimize the powder, and the heat-sensitive material powder is prepared by the second wet ball milling method, and the obtained powder is fine and uniform; Thermistors made of resistor-like materials have high yield, good interchangeability, good stability and high reliability.
