Abstract: | Tape casting process was used to produce yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) substrates in an aqueous system with poly(vinylalcohol) (PVA) and glycerine as binder and plasticizer, respectively. Various compositions of YSZ slips with different amounts of PVA and glycerine and consequently different solid/liquid ratios were prepared. The influence of the slip composition on the rheological properties of the slips was studied. In addition, the effect of the slip composition on the properties of the green and sintered tapes was investigated. PVA and glycerine did not affect the dispersion properties of the YSZ powder. Glycerine additions enhanced the flexibility of the green tapes but also produced a decrease in the tensile strength. The increase in the PVA content increased the tensile strength but resulted in a markedly decrease in the green density of the tapes. A correlation between the green and sintered density was found. The anisotropic sintering shrinkage parallel and perpendicular to the casting direction increased with increasing the PVA content. The slip compositions with 5 wt% PVA produced green tapes with satisfactory tensile strength. They had the highest sintered density, the lower sintering shrinkage and the lesser shrinkage anisotropy. |
