It was found that the rheological behavior of SiC particles could be modified with a slightly oxidized surface that was similar to silica in colloidal behavior. The smaller the particles were, the more similar to silica the SiC powder was. The pH value of Al 2O 3-Y 2O 3-La 2O 3 synthesized powder slurry at isoelectric points (IEP) is higher than that of SiC powder. The dispersant PAA-NH 4 changes the IEP of both SiC and Al 2O 3-Y 2O 3-La 2O 3 powder slurry to higher pH values. The experimental results indicate that the composite suspension could possess satisfactory stability and lower viscosity at pH =10.1 and PAA-NH 4 as dispersant. The optimum solid loading was 550 0 in volume. Machinable green bodies with uniform complex shape are gained after molding.展开更多
