Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Piezoelectric oriented ceramics containing a Pb(Ti, Zr)O 3 -based compound having a high degree of orientation not lower than 0.64, which was calculated with the Lotgering method based on an X-ray diffraction pattern in a prescribed cross-section thereof, and having a sintered density not lower than 85% of a theoretical density.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. Piezoelectric oriented ceramics mainly composed of a Pb(Ti,Zr)O 3 -based compound having a perovskite structure, having a degree of orientation not lower than 0.64, which is calculated with Lotgering method based on an X-ray diffraction pattern in a prescribed cross-section thereof, and having a sintered density not lower than 85% of a theoretical density, wherein single crystal particles forming said piezoelectric oriented ceramics are spherical. 2. The piezoelectric oriented ceramics according to claim 1 , wherein said piezoelectric oriented ceramics have a specific resistance not lower than 1.0×10 8 Ωm. 3. A method of manufacturing piezoelectric oriented ceramics having a degree of orientation not lower than 0.64, which is calculated with Lotgering method based on an X-ray diffraction pattern in a prescribed cross-section thereof, the method comprising: preparing single crystal powders containing a Pb(Ti,Zr)O 3 -based compound having a perovskite structure; fabricating a slurry containing said single crystal powders as a dispersion phase; obtaining a compact by forming said slurry in a magnetic field; and firing said compact for 24 hours or longer at a temperature lower by at least 100° C. than a firing temperature at which a sintered density is not lower than 85% of a theoretical density when firing for 3 hours; wherein single crystal particles forming said piezoelectric oriented ceramics are spherical. 4. The method of manufacturing piezoelectric oriented ceramics according to claim 3 , wherein the temperature is not lower than 950° C. and not higher than 1000° C. 5. The method of manufacturing piezoelectric oriented ceramics according to claim 3 , wherein the magnetic field is 12T.
