There are many key attributes to Ionix HPZ ceramic. These features are what make HPZ so unique and something that can easily enhance your piezoceramic products. Below are all the key features that we think make Ionix HPZ a ceramic that can optimise your applications.
Ionix has begun the development of the next generation of lead free piezoceramic materials to address the challenge of potential future RoHS lead exemption reviews banning the use of lead in a wider range of applications. There are currently no suitable lead-free piezoelectric materials for many critical devices and as such now is the time to explore alternative solutions.
With a high piezoelectric activity and high Curie temperature, Ionix HPZ580 material is uniquely placed for shear applications in a range of demanding environments. Our latest Easy-Piezo blog explores what high temperature shear is and how Ionix shear parts can operate beyond the capability of other commercially available materials.
Within this Easy-Piezo Q & A blog we will explore more about the high coercive field and find out why our piezoelectric materials are suitable for applications that need one.
Toughness, strength and machineability are key attributes when selecting a piezoceramic for integration into your devices. Many devices require the piezoceramic to be able to withstand high pre-loads or the ceramic may be exposed to high forces during operation. This short blog explores how a new alternative material, Ionix HPZ, addresses some of these limitations.
Ionix HPZ piezoelectric materials show a strain to failure figure 2.5 times that of PZT.
