SCUALE
Development of lead-free piezoelectrics for underwater acoustics
About the project
The SCUALE project aims to study, develop and produce advanced lead-free piezoelectric materials and components to replace PZT (Lead Zirconate Titanate) existing ceramics with improved performance for military underwater acoustics applications. The overarching goal of SCUALE project is to initiate the establishment of at least one European supply chain of lead-free piezoelectric materials that are suitable for underwater acoustics military applications.
Within SCUALE, DTU performs research on materials (including textured ceramics) and processing routes (including additive manufacturing).
