Effect of sintering temperature of NBT–6BT lead-free ceramics on the structural, ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties by Slimani, Ahmed

“…It is found that the optimal ferroelectric and piezoelectric values were obtained at 1150 °C (P r = 27 µC/cm 2 , E c = 3.89 kV/mm and d 33 = 110 pC/N). According to these results, we suggest that 850 °C and 1150 °C can be considered as optimal calcination and sintering temperature in NBT-6BT ceramic, respectively.…”
