Abstract
Textured monolithic alumina ceramics were synthesized by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) in strong magnetic field of 10 T. Single crystalline, granular α-alumina particles in aqueous suspensions were rotated due to their anisotropic diamagnetic susceptibility and then deposited on substrate. A multilayered alumina composite of oriented and randomly oriented layers was also synthesized by the alternate EPD of alumina suspensions which were placed in and out of a superconducting magnet. It was demonstrated that the EPD in a strong magnetic field is a promising ceramic processing technique for fabricating sophisticated ceramic composites.
