Research Highlight:
- The proposed model provides an efficient tool for predicting extrusion force, deformation geometry, and strain localization in the backward extrusion of ultra-thin-walled tubes.
- The analytically predicted extrusion force shows acceptable agreement with experimental measurements, while the analytically determined deformation depth T exhibits consistent agreement with both metallographic observations and FEM-based strain-field analysis.
- The generality of the analytical framework is demonstrated through extensive parametric analyses covering a range of wall thicknesses, billet radii, and reduction ratios for thin and ultra-thin-walled tubes.

Manuscript Title: The effect of lanthanum substitution on the ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of (Pb0.88Sr0.12)(Zr0.54Ti0.44Sb0.02)O3 ceramics
- Optimal La doping (0.5 mol%) drastically enhances piezoelectric performance, achieving a high piezoelectric coefficient (d33) of 635 pC/N and an electromechanical coupling factor (kp) of 0.67.
- Lanthanum acts as a powerful sintering aid, increasing the bulk density to a maximum of 7.34 g.cm-3 for the 1.0 mol% La-doped sample sintered at 1280°C.
- Significant improvement in dielectric properties is observed, with the relative permittivity (εr) reaching 3000 and the dielectric loss (tan δ) remaining low at 0.018 for the 0.5 mol% La composition.
- La substitution effectively refines the microstructure, reducing the average grain size and its standard deviation, which is linked to improved mechanical reliability.
- The developed La-doped PSZTS ceramics demonstrate a superior property combination, making them highly promising for advanced piezoelectric applications such as high-sensitivity transducers, receivers, and large-displacement actuators.
