Abstract
Abstract Electrophoretic deposition with simultaneous gas bubble formation by electrolysis can be used for producing ceramic green bodies, typically few millimetres in thickness, with unidirectionally aligned channel-like pores. The method is successfully applied to yttria-stabilised zirconia. Two types of aqueous suspension compositions are investigated. Suspensions with acetic acid additions are particularly suitable for forming green bodies with fine pore channels. Only small amounts of acetic acid, promoting the gas evolution, are needed for this purpose. Dissolution of yttria in the acidic range has to be considered, but the required low acid concentrations do not measurably affect the yttrium content of the deposits. Yttria dissolution can be minimised by a suspension composition containing an anionic polyelectrolyte and ammonia instead of acetic acid. The ammonia concentration influences the size of the tubular pores of the deposits formed under constant-voltage conditions. Using structured deposition electrodes, the regularity of the pore arrangement can be enhanced.
