摘要
Thick film broadband ultrasonic transducers (UTs) produced by a sol-gel spray technique and operated below 10 MHz are presented. These UTs are formed by dispersing PZT and LiTaO3 particles, respectively in Al2O3 and PZT sol-gel solution. The 50100 mum thick films have been deposited on curved steel, flat steel and aluminum substrates and steel rods. Ultrasonic pulse-echo signals with a signal to noise ratio of more than 25 dB are experimentally obtained for the operating temperatures up to 250 degreesC. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
