In the present work lead-free compositions with a stoichiometric formula (1-x)(K0.5Na0.5)Nb1-ySbyO3-xBaTiO3 (x=0.01, 0.02, 0.04; y=0.04, 0.07) were produced by solid state sintering method. Manganese oxide MnO2 was used as a dopant in order to lower the sintering temperatures. The influence of BaTiO3 on the microstructure, density, mechanical and electrical properties Of Sb-substituted KNN ceramics was investigated. X-ray diffraction analysis revieled pure perovskite structure. Microstructural investigation of the ceramics samples showed homogeneous structure with a slightly rounded cubical grain shape. Phase transition temperature Tc is shifted to lower temperatures in comparison to Sb-substituted KNN ceramics. Phase transition peak at Tc becomes broader indicating the diffuse phase transition.
