Abstract

Disclosed are piezoelectric ceramic compositions comprising, as the essential component, (Na.sub.0.5 Bi.sub.0.5)Bi.sub.4 Ti.sub.4 O.sub.15, or (Na.sub.0.5 Bi.sub.0.5).sub.1-x M.sub.x Bi.sub.4 Ti.sub.4 O.sub.15 where M is at least one divalent metal element or (A1.sub.0.5 A2.sub.0.5) and A1 is at least one monovalent metal element, A2 is at least one trivalent metal element, and 0<x.ltoreq.0.5, and, as the side component, manganese in an amount of from about 0.7 to 3.0% by weight, relative to the essential component and in terms of MnCO.sub.3. The compositions have a piezoelectric constant, d.sub.33, of not smaller than 25 pC/N at temperatures above 500.degree. C.
