Ionix has a team of specialist material engineers who have decades of combined R&D and industrial experience who are here to solve your biggest piezoceramic and device challenges. Our Easy-Piezo blog page is here to help share this knowledge.
Ionix has begun the development of the next generation of lead free piezoceramic materials to address the challenge of potential future RoHS lead exemption reviews banning the use of lead in a wider range of applications. There are currently no suitable lead-free piezoelectric materials for many critical devices and as such now is the time to explore alternative solutions.

With a high piezoelectric activity and high Curie temperature, Ionix HPZ580 material is uniquely placed for shear applications in a range of demanding environments. Our latest Easy-Piezo blog explores what high temperature shear is and how Ionix shear parts can operate beyond the capability of other commercially available materials.
Huddersfield, UK: Ionix Advanced Technologies has been awarded a UK government funded grant entitled “Next generation lead free sensors and actuators”. During the 18-month program, which commenced on 1st April 2023, Ionix will develop new lead-free piezoelectric materials part-funded by Innovate UK, part of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) (project number 10048882), and private equity.
Piezoelectric materials are of significant interest for use in precision and ultrasonic applications due to the high resolution, quick response times, large force generation and low power requirements.
Our plug and play feature can be a key element to any customer who is looking to enhance their devices with Ionix HPZ and who currently uses a PZT ceramic. Here is a quick explanation as to why that is!
Within this Easy-Piezo Q & A blog we will explore more about the high coercive field and find out why our piezoelectric materials are suitable for applications that need one.
One of the key considerations when developing a new advanced piezoelectric material is to ensure that everything we do is traceable, scalable, transferable, and exactly compatible with industry norms. This blog will highlight our process and what goes into making our HPZ materials, including the checks we have in place so we can manufacture the same product repeatedly.
Toughness, strength and machineability are key attributes when selecting a piezoceramic for integration into your devices. Many devices require the piezoceramic to be able to withstand high pre-loads or the ceramic may be exposed to high forces during operation. This short blog explores how a new alternative material, Ionix HPZ, addresses some of these limitations.
With our advanced ceramic manufacturing facility, we can manufacture piezo-electric materials to order, tailoring their performance for activity, temperature operation, strength or other properties.
