Piezoelectric component and method for producing a piezoelectric component

A method for producing a piezoelectric component, the method comprising:

• providing a mixture of starting materials, the mixture of starting materials are selected from the group consisting of Pb3O4, TiO2, ZrO2, WO3, RE2O3, BaCO3 and SrCO3;
• calcining the mixture at a first temperature and milling the calcinated mixture to a first average diameter;
• calcining the calcinated mixture at a second temperature that is higher than the first temperature and forming a green body;
• forming a metal layer on the green body;
• forming a stack of green bodies and metal layers;
• debindering the stack;
• and
• sintering the stack thereby forming the piezoelectric component with piezoelectric ceramic layers comprising Pb1-x-y-[(2a-b)/2]-p/2V[(2a-b)/2-p/2]″CupBaxSry[(TizZr1-z)1-a-bWaREb]O3, where RE is a rare earth metal and V″ is a Pb vacancy, where 0≤x≤0.035, 0≤y≤0.025, 0.42≤z≤0.5, 0.0045≤a≤0.009, 0.009≤b≤0.011, 2a>b and p≤2a-b.
