The invention relates to a lead-free transduction element for an ultrasonic
transducer and a preparation method of the lead-free transduction element, and belongs to the technical field of ultrasonic
transducer equipment, the lead-free transduction element is characterized in that the lead-free transduction element is composed of a lead-free piezoelectric material and a non-piezoelectric phase material, the lead-free piezoelectric material is a quadrangular
prism which is uniformly
cut into a latticed
crystal column array, and the non-piezoelectric phase material is a non-piezoelectric phase material. The non-piezoelectric phase material is filled among the latticed
crystal column arrays; the height of the
composite material composed of the lead-free piezoelectric material and the non-piezoelectric phase material is 40-60 microns, and the volume of the lead-free piezoelectric material accounts for 50-60% of that of the
composite material; the volume of the non-piezoelectric phase material accounts for 40%-50% of the volume of the
composite material, the side length of a
crystal column is 30-40 microns, the resonant frequency and the anti-resonant frequency of the composite material are both larger than 20 MHz, and the
electromechanical coupling coefficient is larger than 70%. According to the invention, the harm of a lead-based piezoelectric material in an existing ultrasonic
transducer transduction element to the environment and a
human body is overcome, and the provided preparation method overcomes the problems that a lead-free piezoelectric
single crystal is fragile and easy to crack, and a small-size crystal column is easy to collapse when being
cut.
