Abstract:The surface of ZrO2 powder was modified by MAA, 3-(isobutyryloxy) propyltrimethoxysilane (γ-MPS) and stearic acid (SA), and then the stereolithography slurry was prepared. By means of infrared spectrum, particle size analysis, sedimentation experiment and rheological test, the effect and mechanism of modifier on particle size distribution, stability and viscosity of slurry were studied. The results show that the modifier exists on the surface of ZrO2 powder in the form of chemical adsorption, which can effectively reduce the agglomeration of powder. The surface modification of ZrO2 powder can improve the stability and reduce the viscosity of the stereolithography slurry. Adding 0.5%MAA (mass fraction) has the best modification effect. The viscosity of the slurry decreases from 156.2 Pa·s to 47.1 Pa·s at the shear rate of 1 s-1. ZrO2 green bodies are formed via stereolithography with slurry of 75% solid content and sintered at 1 500 ℃ for 3 h. ZrO2 ceramics with density of 6.02 g/cm3 and hardness (HV10) of 1 290 are obtained.
