This study optimized ceramic suspensions for coating stainless steel. A novel method determined the ideal dispersant for stable alumina and alumina-zirconia suspensions, enabling uniform electrophoretic deposition coatings.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Ceramic Engineering
  • Surface Science

Background:

  • Alumina and zirconia powders are key ceramic materials.
  • Ethyl alcohol is a common solvent for ceramic processing.
  • Effective dispersion is crucial for stable ceramic suspensions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To prepare and characterize alumina and alumina-zirconia ceramic suspensions in ethyl alcohol.
  • To optimize the use of citric acid and triethylamine as a dispersant system.
  • To develop and apply a novel method for evaluating suspension properties and determining optimal dispersant concentration.

Main Methods:

  • Preparation of ceramic suspensions using alumina and alumina-zirconia powders in ethyl alcohol.
  • Utilizing citric acid and triethylamine as a combined dispersant.
