Novel fabrication technique for the production of ceramic/ceramic and metal/ceramic composite coatings

Electrophoretic deposition: From traditional ceramics to nanotechnology

“…For the production of metal/ceramic composite coatings EPD is usually employed in combination with electroplating or galvanic deposition of metals. [32][33][34][35][36][37] Moreover yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ)/alumina composite coatings have been produced on Fecralloys by EPD 38,39 and densified by a subsequent reaction bonding processes. 38 It is clear that the most difficult task in the production of ceramic coatings on a metal substrates is related to the limited temperature capability of the metals and the high temperatures required for sintering the ceramic layer.…”

Effects of applied voltages on hydroxyapatite coating of titanium by electrophoretic deposition

“…Hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings contribute excellent biocompatibility to implants, while titanium substrates provide favorable mechanical properties to the entire implant 1–5. To obtain the maximum benefit from such coatings, it is necessary to control the composition, thickness, and microstructures of the deposited HA layers 6. Among alternative coating techniques, there is a growing interest in electrophoretic deposition (EPD).…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5] To obtain the maximum benefit from such coatings, it is necessary to control the composition, thickness, and microstructures of the deposited HA layers. 6 Among alternative coating techniques, there is a growing interest in electrophoretic deposition (EPD). EPD presents several advantages such as ability to control thickness and morphology of the deposited layer by controlling the electrochemical parameters, ability to deposit relatively uniform coatings on complex shapes, a higher deposition rate as compared with most coating process, and the low cost to purchase the equipment.…”

Ceramic Coatings Obtained by Electrophoretic Deposition: Fundamentals, Models, Post-Deposition Processes and Applications

“…Particularly successful is the use of EPD to produce porous, laminated and graded ceramic coatings (Hatton & Nicholson, 2001;Put et al, 2004;You et al, 2004) as well as fibres reinforced composites (Boccaccini et al, 1996(Boccaccini et al, ,1997Wang et al, 2000a;Freidrich et al, 2002;Kaya et al, 1999Kaya et al, , 2000Kaya et al, , 2001. Moreover, EPD has proven to be an effective method to texture superconductors structures, such as BSCCO and YBCO (Hang et al,1995;Yau & Sorrell 1997;Grenci et al, 2006) and electrodes for solid oxide fuel cells (Zhitomirsky & Petric, 2000;Hosomi et al, 2007).…”
