摘要：

The effect of pH and oxygen content on the zeta potential, viscosity, and casting performance of fine ( < 3-mu-m) boron carbide powder is presented. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of the powder revealed a surface layer of adsorbed water and oxides of boron and carbon. The soluble boric acid impurity was removed by washing the powder with water or alcohols. Electrophoresis indicated that the B4C surface was negatively charged in water above pH 1, but the presence of dissolved boric acid suppressed the zeta potential at high pH. Stable, low-viscosity dispersions of > 30 vol% solids were prepared and slip cast at pH > 6, but boric acid was destabilizing for dispersions prepared above pH 7. The green density of slip-cast parts was more reproducible and about 3% to 5% higher for washed powders than for high-oxygen-content powders.
