Abstract
Abstract According to the invention a powder of lead-containing oxides and a process for preparing the same for the production of an element for electrical and other applications are provided. The powder is prepared by mixing and calcining a powder of oxides of metals other than lead, lead-containing oxides, metal substances forming the oxides upon calcination or mixtures thereof, adding and mixing a powder of a lead substance to obtain a mixture and then calcining the mixture. The powder includes a Perovskite type lead-containing oxides of the formula of ABO 3 wherein A is a metal element coordinated with 12 oxygen atoms and containing at least lead, and B is a metal element coordinated with 6 oxygen atoms. A phase containing the lead forms a skin layer of the powder.
