- PZT-based compounds
PZT-based compounds (Pb [ZrxTi1-x] O3 where 0
lead zirconium titanate) are ceramic perovskite materials that develop apiezoelectric effect, avoltage difference across two of its facets when highly compressed.Composition
PZT-based compounds are composed of the chemical elements
lead andzirconium and the chemical compoundtitanate which are combined under extremely high temperatures. Amechanical filter is then used to filter out theparticulates .Use
PZT-based compounds are primarily used in the manufacturing of
ultrasound transducers . A secondary use is in the manufacturing ofceramic capacitors and chips.ee also
