Composition

PZT-based compounds are composed of the chemical element lead, the mineral zircon, and the chemical compound titanate which are combined under extremely high temperatures. A mechanical filter is then used to filter out the particulates.

Use

PZT-based compounds are primarily used in the manufacturing of ultrasound transducers. A secondary use is in the manufacturing of ceramic capacitors and chips.
