The conditions under which titanate ceramics may be made to have piezoelectric properties suitable for application to transducers are described. These conditions involve a selection of the titanate material to give a Curie point well above the working temperature, polarization from an external voltage source within certain limits of potential gradient and time duration, and mechanical structure. Most common transducers have a mechanical impedance far below that of a solid block of ceramic. Multilamellar strips have been developed to provide the mechanical impedance required in a phonograph pick‐up, microphone, or the like. These consist, in general, of a metal strip with a thin plate of ceramic soldered to one side or with thin plates soldered to both sides. As the multilamellar strip cools below the solidification point of the solder, the ceramic becomes pre‐stressed in compression. This strip is then used in flexure in a transducer. It has many unique properties, especially for applications involving extreme conditions of humidity.Applications of this strip for a phonograph pick‐up and to a microphone are shown.Precautions involved in controlling production of a pick‐up are discussed.
