title: Electrophoretic deposition behavior of ceria-stabilized zirconia/alumina powder.
abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the electrophoretic deposition (EPD) behavior of ceria-stabilized zirconia/alumina (Ce-TZP/Al2O3) granulated powder. Two types of slurry with powder-to-solvent ratios of 10 wt% and 20 wt% were used. Zeta potential of the slurries was measured using a spectrometer at different pH levels. Then, EPD was performed to measure the weight of the deposited particles at varying pH levels and at two voltages (50 V and 100 V). The isoelectric point of Ce-TZP/Al2O3 mixed powder was approximately at pH 8.5. When EPD was performed, deposition of ceramic particles was typically observed in the range of pH 3 to pH 7, with the greatest deposition found at around pH 7. Moreover, the deposition of ceramic particles increased with increase in slurry concentration and voltage.
