Abstract
To obtain a piezoelectric ceramic composition having extremely high heat resisting property. Provided is a piezoelectric ceramic composition comprising a main component represented by Pba[(MnbNbc)dTieZrf]O3 (wherein 0.98≦a≦1.01, 0.340≦b≦0.384, 0.616≦c≦0.660, 0.08≦d≦0.12, 0.500≦e≦0.540, 0.37≦f≦0.41, bd+cd+e+f=1), and 1 to 10% by weight of Al in terms of Al2O3 as an additive. Preferably, b is such that 0.345≦b≦0.375 and c is such that 0.625≦c≦0.655, and the Al as the additive is preferably 2 to 6% by weight in terms of Al2O3.
