Effect of Hydrothermal Treatment on the Piezoelectric Response of Oriented Barium Titanate Ceramics

Article Preview

Abstract:

The piezoelectric response of [11-oriented, fine-grained BaTiO3 ceramics was investigated. It was found that an exposure of the BaTiO3 compacts to high-pressure, high-temperature steam in an autoclave promoted the orientation of the sintered ceramics. As temperature in the autoclave increased, the orientation increased. A large small-field piezoelectric constant of d33 = 517 pC/N was observed for the oriented BaTiO3 ceramics with the grain size of 1.76 μm and the Lotgering factor of 85.3 %.
