Abstract(in English) In order to improve the piezoelectric constant, d33, of K0.45Na0.55NbO3 ceramics, which is a typical base material composition of potassium sodium niobate solid solution, the grain size dependence of d33 was investigated in this study. Two kinds of powders were used for two-step sintering to produce ceramics of varying average grain size: a mixed powder of K0.4Na0.6NbO3 and K0.5Na0.5NbO3 and a single-phase K0.45Na0.55NbO3 powder. As a result, ceramics with average grain size of about 2?m to 5.5?m were obtained. It was confirmed that the single-phase powder and the mixed powder had different sinterability, and that the mixed powder promoted diffusion more than the single-phase powder. When the single-phase powder and the mixed powder were sintered under the same conditions, there was no significant difference in the Curie temperature, TC. However, the TC decreased in both powders with increasing heating time at high temperatures. The grain size dependence of d33 was obtained, and the optimum average grain size of K0.45Na0.55NbO3 ceramic was estimated within about 2 to 3 ?m. The maximum d33 value in this study was 126 pC/N for ceramics with an average grain size of approximately 2.4 ?m fabricated from the mixed powder.
