ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns sol-gel techniques for making PZT-type ceramics having a perovskite-type structure and ferrite ceramics having a spinel-type structure. Colloidal hydrated oxide sols are mixed with metal salt solutions in the required concentration and the mixed sols dehydrated to form homogeneous gels which are fired at 250.degree. C.-650.degree. C., pressed and sintered at 900.degree.-1300.degree. C. The resulting ceramics include PZT4, PZT5 and lithium ferrites. These have excellent homogeneity, small grain size, high density and improved electrical properties, particularly low dielectric loss, compared with known ceramics of similar composition.
