WHY HARD PZT?
MANY COMPOSITIONS MANY APPLICATIONS
Hard ceramics have characteristics generally opposite those of soft ceramics, including Curie points above 300�C, small piezoelectric charge constants, large electromechanical coupling factors, and large mechanical quality factors. They also are more difficult to polarize or depolarize. Although hard ceramics generally are more stable than soft ceramics, they cannot produce the same large displacements. Hard ceramics are compatible with high mechanical loads and high voltages.
Be aware, however, that a soft ceramic can be prepared to exhibit some characteristics approaching those of a hard ceramic, or vice versa. Thus, when choosing a ceramic for a particular application, it can be useful to look beyond general categorization, and carefully compare specific characteristics.
Some Typical Applications:
- Ultrasonic cleaners
- Ultrasonic atomizers
- Transformers
- Underwater echo sounders
- High power actuators
- Vibratory motors
- Ultrasonic surgery
- Sonochemistry
