Functionally graded ceramic and ceramic–metal composites shaped by electrophoretic deposition

The effect of electrolyte conductivity on electrophoretic deposition

“…Another advantage of the technique is the fact that it can be used to make coatings as well as freestanding objects or composite materials. Electrophoretic deposition has been used to deposit polymers [1], ceramics [2], metals [3], and combinations of different materials [4,5]. Currently, EPD is used in industry for the coating of primers on car bodies [6] and the deposition of phosphorus coatings for information displays [7].…”

Mode-3 spontaneous crack propagation in symmetric functionally graded materials

“…Examples include wear resistant structures (Gasik et al, 2003;Put et al, 2003a), materials developed for ballistic impact resistance (Vecchio, 2005). Further examples of engineering applications, where symmetric material property variation exists can be found in Zhang et al (2004) and Put et al (2003b).

Enhancing power output and profitability through energy-efficiency techniques and advanced materials in today’s industrial gas turbines

“…This can be achieved by applying a Ni-rich coating close to the surface and increasing the amount of alumina during deposition. Such functionally graded materials (FGMs), consisting of alumina and zirconia, have been produced by EPD (Put et al 2003). FGMs can be deposited if two separate suspensions of the components are made and mixed at an appropriate rate while the deposition is in progress.…”
