PURPOSE: To form a homogeneous perovskite phase and obtain a compsn. having a high electromechanical coupling factor by previously mixing and burning components except Pb and Me when a piezoelectric ceramic comspn. represented by the general formula (Pb1-xMex)-(TiyZrzB1-y-z)O3 is produced.
CONSTITUTION: Components except Pb and Me, that is, B-site components are previously mixed and burnt at 800-1,200°C and the burnt components are mixed with PbO and Me and burnt. In the formula, Me is one or more among Sr, Ca and Ba, B is one or more among (Mg1/3Nb2/3), (Ni1/3Mb2/3), (Sn1/3Nb2/3), (Zn1/3Nb2/3), (Co1/3Nb2/3), (Mn1/3Nb2/3) and (Fe1/2Nb1/2) and 0≤x≤0.2. By this method, a selective reaction of Pb with Nb as a B-site component in a burning process can be prevented and a homogeneous perovskite phase is formed.
