Function and Effect of the Invention Complete PZ in the calcination process
When the crystal layer of T is formed, the calcined powder obtained becomes a large aggregate, so that a large crushing force is required in the crushing step. Furthermore, there is a limit to the fineness even when crushed in the crushing step. For example, when calcined at a high temperature of about 900 ° C., all three components of lead titanate, zirconium oxide and lead oxide react, so it is difficult to reduce the average particle size even when pulverized. Is about 0.4 μm.
However, when calcined at about 700 ° C., unreacted portions remain, so that the particle size in the case of pulverization becomes small, and the average particle size of the pulverized powder becomes 0.2 μm, which is about half as large. .

That is, in the compact in the compacting step, since the particle size of the pulverized powder is small, pores are difficult to be formed and a compact compact is obtained. In addition, due to the presence of the unreacted portion, active energy for promoting sintering at the time of sintering increases. Therefore, the sintered density of the sintered body is improved as compared with the related art. Therefore, according to the production method of the present invention, the sinterability is improved and the bending strength of the sintered body is improved. Thereby, the durability at the time of driving as a piezoelectric actuator is improved. Further, since the calcining temperature is lowered, it is possible to prevent the lead from being evaporated and scattered during the calcining.
Therefore, fluctuation of the PZT composition can be prevented.
