PZT-based compounds

PZT-based compounds

PZT-based compounds (Pb [ZrxTi1-x] O3 where 0lead zirconium titanate) are ceramic perovskite materials that develop a piezoelectric effect, a voltage difference across two of its facets when highly compressed.

Composition

PZT-based compounds are composed of the chemical elements lead and zirconium and the chemical compound titanate which are combined under extremely high temperatures. A mechanical filter is then used to filter out the particulates.

Use

PZT-based compounds are primarily used in the manufacturing of ultrasound transducers. A secondary use is in the manufacturing of ceramic capacitors and chips.
