Abstract: Disclosed is a sintered piezoelectric ceramic which is resistant to the high voltage for polarization with no dielectric breakdown and has good moisture resistance. When a plurality of the ceramics are fired, they are prevented from being fused and combined together. The production costs of the ceramic are low. The sintered piezoelectric ceramic comprises particulate or agglomerate zirconia grains dispersed in piezoelectric ceramic grains, in which the mean grain size of the piezoelectric ceramic grains is smaller than that of the zirconia grains.
