The invention discloses a method for preparing zirconia ceramics by a
casting method. (1) pretreating zirconia micropowder with a partially stable tetragonal
crystal phase produced by a wet chemical method at 600-800° C. for 1-3 hours, and (2) ) the pretreated zirconia micropowder is added to the
ball mill, and then based on the weight of the zirconia
powder, 1-3% of the dispersant, 50-60% of the
solvent, and 0.5-3% of the leveling agent are added according to the weight percentage, and the
ball mill is made for 10 hours. into a
slurry. Then add 2-8%
plasticizer and 3-10%
adhesive to the above-mentioned primary
slurry to make
casting slurry after secondary ball milling for 10 hours. The above-mentioned dispersant is
castor oil or
phosphoric acid ester, and the
adhesive It is
polyvinyl butyral, the
plasticizer is a mixture of
dibutyl phthalate and dioctyl
phthalate, the weight ratio is 1:1, the
solvent is absolute
ethanol, and the leveling agent is
cyclohexanone , (3) After ball milling, the
casting slurry is vacuum stirred and defoamed for 10-30 minutes, the
viscosity of the slurry is controlled to 10000-30000mPa.s, and then cast on a large casting
machine, while
drying at 60°C-100°C After 2-3 hours, a
zirconia ceramic green body is prepared, and the cast
green body is placed on a
setter plate from
room temperature to 600 °C at a heating rate of 0.5-1.5 °C / min, kept for 4 hours to remove the glue, and then
Sintering at less than 1540°C for 2-4 hours.
