The properties of relaxor ceramics in the compositional series (1− x ) K 0.5 Bi 0.5 TiO 3 – x Ba ( Ti 0.8 Zr 0.2 ) O 3 have been investigated. Values of T m , the temperature of maximum relative permittivity, decreased from 380°C at x = 0.0 to below room temperature for x > 0.7. Compositions x = 0.1 and 0.2 were piezoelectric and ferroelectric. The maximum value of d 33 piezoelectric charge coefficient, 130 pC/N, and strain, 0.14%, occurred at x = 0.1. Piezoelectric properties of x = 0.1 were retained after thermal cycling from room temperature to 220°C, consistent with results from high‐temperature X‐ray diffraction indicating a transition to single‐phase cubic at ~300°C.
