The EU Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive prohibits the use of lead in electronics on the European market. In certain applications, however, lead-containing piezoceramics are exempt from the restrictions, as lead-free alternatives simply aren't available and up to par in terms of performance. In this webinar, our ceramics experts examine the RoHS-directive and point to new developments that could determine the future of piezoceramics in the European Union. Subsequently, they report on the current state of lead-free piezoceramic alternatives and eventually concludes the webinar with a presentation of a case study where a flowmeter transducer was designed using the lead-free material NTK-KNN.
