Abstract

In this work, we propose the use of FLASH sintering as an alternative technique to densify Potassium Sodium Niobate, K_0.5Na_0.5NbO₃, KNN, a piezoceramic with relevant promising applications and a possible viable substitute of lead zirconate titanate based compositions (Pb_1-x Zr_xTiO₃, PZT). We aim to increase this material performance by densifying KNN ceramics without secondary phase segregation. Furthermore, FLASH will contribute to a more sustainable processing of piezoelectrics as lead-free ceramics at reduced sintering temperature and time.
