Abstract

A goal in manufacturing multilayer lead zirconium titanate (PZT) actuators is to produce materials that can be sintered at temperatures <960°C so that the internal electrodes can be constructed from more cost-effective Ag alloys. A commercial PZT-4 type powder was modified by the addition of glass forming donor and acceptor compounds. Powder mixtures were milled using standard ball milling or high-energy attrition milling steps. Both pressed and tape cast laminate discs were fabricated from the powders and then sintered at 800°C to 950°C in air. The mechanical properties and electromechanical properties of the sintered materials were measured.
