The production of interconnected parallel fibers is based on piezoceramic plates. The plates are treated by different surface processing. One experimental series is lapped and another series is extra polished by chemical mechanical polishing (CMP). The resulting plates were examined with regard to the fracture strength and the degradation of the piezoelectric properties during manufacturing and operation. It has been shown that the lapped and polished plates have a clearly better persistence with regard to the shaping processes compared to the unprocessed plates. The best results in this process were achieved by the polished plates, which is also transferable to the fibers. Furthermore, the piezoelectric characteristics were better preserved by the lapped and polished plates and fibers. |
