Application Of Titanium in Detectors

Application of titanium in detectors

Barium titanate crystals are widely used in ultrasonic instruments and underwater detectors. This is because when the blade changes shape under pressure, it generates electric current; it changes shape again once it is energized.

When barium titanate is placed in an ultrasonic wave, it will generate an electric current when it is pressed. The strength of the ultrasonic wave can be measured by the magnitude of the electric current it generates. On the contrary, if a high-frequency current is passed through it, an ultrasonic wave can be generated.
