Hard materials consist of a hard phase embedded in a metallic binder. In order to achieve high toughness and strength, it is necessary to have a perfect mixing of hard phase and binder, which is mainly achieved by ball milling. Niobium carbide (NbC) has a high potential to substitute tungsten carbide as hard material.
The publication presents the development of stable homogeneous and de-agglomerated NbC-dispersions. To prevent agglomeration of the powder, stable suspensions were achieved by surface treatments with the dispersants (PD and HD), which resulted in a charge reversal from a negative to a positive zeta potential. This surface-modified powder guaranteed a stable re-dispersion in the binder suspension. Nickel powder was added as metallic binder. This suspension was suited for 3D-printing. The green samples could be sintered in vacuum or Argon atmosphere.
Resolution of special capacitive sensors can be improved enormously by replacement of the gaseous material between the capacitor plates by a ceramic dispersion with high permittivity. High dielectric liquid dispersions of ceramic submicron and nano barium titanate powders should be qualified as dielectric fluid with long-term shelf life for this use.
Investigations for the production of stabilized barium titanate dispersions in aqueous and organic liquids by use of different dispersant aids were performed. Characterization of dispersed particles and agglomerates was done by use of zeta potential measurements for aqueous dispersions as well as particle sizing by laser diffraction, ultrasound spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering for aqueous and organic dispersions. Optimization of stability was evaluated by accelerated sedimentation measurements with an optical centrifuge. Best results were achieved for barium titanate dispersions in silicone oil.
