Abstract
Lead zirconate titanate ceramic powders have been surface modified by using phosphor esther 0.3% in volume. The phosphorous modification gave higher d ensities at lower temperatures associated with a reduction of the weight lo sses during the densification process. From the relationships between ceram ic processing and microstructure, it was established that the phosphorous s urface modification allows the effective grain growth control as well a hig her homogeneity in the grain size distribution.
