Abstract
PZT 53/47 ceramics were fabricated from four kinds of zirconium oxide powder to clarify the effects of raw powders on the densification, grain growth and piezoelectric properties from the viewpoint of low-temperature sintering. Two types of ZrO2 powder which were different in terms of specific surface area and two types of Zr0.53Ti0.47O2 powder which were different in terms of Nb dopant were used as the starting materials. By adjusting the calcining and grinding conditions appropriately, dense ceramics were obtained at a lower firing temperature than 1000°C. Among the four kinds of powder, the calcined powder started from (Zr,Ti)O2 powder doped with Nb2O5 densified at the lowest temperature, 800°C. The calcined powder started from (Zr,Ti)O2 doped with Nb ion was satisfactorily sintered at 950°C to fine-grained ceramics of 0.6 μm in average grain size and 0.6 in planar coupling factor
