Piezoelectric Alloy Powders
Piezoelectric Alloy Powders

Reade’s piezoelectric alloy powders are ceramics that can generate a voltage in response to mechanical stress. The following categories of piezoelectric powder are available from Reade: Bismuth Titanate (BiT) Lead Titanate (PT) Barium Titanate (BT) Lead Metaniobate Hard Lead Titanate Zirconate (Hard PZT ) Soft Lead Titanate Zirconate (Soft PZT) "Soft" and "hard" piezo ceramics refer to dipole or domain mobility along with polarization and depolarization behavior. The use or application of the powder will determine which alloy powder is best. For example, soft piezoceramics with low polarity reversal field strengths are used for actuator applications, whereas a hard PZT material is used in high-power acoustic applications. Our lead-free piezo ceramics (BiT and BT) are used especially as ultrasonic transducers or crystalline actuator materials.

Titanium Alloys
Titanium Alloys
Titanium alloys contain mixtures of titanium and other chemical elements. They are lightweight alloys with high tensile strength and toughness, even at extreme temperatures. They are also very corrosion-resistant. Titanium alloys are generally classified into four main categories: Alpha alloys which contain neutral alloying elements and alpha stabilizers only and are not heat-treatable. Near-alpha alloys contain a small amount of ductile beta-phase. Alpha-beta alloys are metastable, generally include some combination of alpha and beta stabilizers, and can be heat treated. Beta and near beta alloys are metastable and contain sufficient beta stabilizers to maintain the beta phase when quenched. They can also be solution-treated and aged to improve strength. The ASTM International standard on titanium and titanium alloy seamless pipe reference the following alloys, requiring the following treatment: Grades 1-4 are unalloyed and considered commercially pure. Generally, the tensile and yield strength goes up with the grade number for these "pure" grades. The difference in their physical properties is primarily due to the number of interstitial elements. Grade 7 contains 0.12 to 0.25% palladium. This grade is similar to Grade 2. The small quantity of palladium added gives it enhanced crevice corrosion resistance at low temperatures and high pH. Grade 11 contains 0.12 to 0.25% palladium. This grade has enhanced corrosion resistance.
