Low acoustic impedance
PZT
Type Pz36
Microstructure of Pz36 at a magnification of 5000 times
01 Description
02 Key features and benefits
•
•
•
Lowest batch to batch variation in the industry
Stable material with consistent performance
Customised or standard designs
The new Ferroperm Pz36 material is developed primarily
with the aim of having very low acoustic impedance
and at the same time high thickness coupling
coefficient and permittivity. It has furthermore no oil or
polymer infiltration, and is therefore able to operate at
higher temperatures than traditional lead-
metaniobates. Pz36 has low losses and high a Qm-value
and can therefore be used alone or in combination
with Pz37 in NDT applications and other applications,
where the acoustic matching is critical.

•
High thickness coupling coefficient
High permittivity
Repeatable performance
03 Applications
The main focus through our entire production process is to
provide materials and components with the highest
possible reproducibility of properties and parameters and
to obtain the lowest aging rates in the industry.

•
•
•
NDT transducers
Medical transducers
Underwater transducers
Low frequency Doppler flow-meters
Our materials have a variation of ±5% for all parameters.
This reduces the requirements for impedance matching,
frequency tuning and dimensioning of the housing
meaning fewer rejects and lower costs.
