Steps in doctor blading, a tape-casting process employed in the production of ceramic films. Ceramic powder and solvent are mixed to form a slurry, which is treated with various additives and binders, homogenized, and then pumped directly to a tape-casting machine. There the slurry is continuously cast onto the surface of a moving carrier film. The edge of a smooth knife, generally called a doctor blade, spreads the slurry onto the carrier film at a specified thickness, thereby generating a flexible tape. Heat lamps gently evaporate the solvent, and the dry tape is peeled away from the carrier film and rolled onto a take-up reel for additional processing.

    In advanced ceramics: Tape casting

    ) Tape casting is another process that was originally used with traditional ceramics but has achieved a high level of sophistication for advanced ceramics. In particular, tape-casting methods are used to make substrates for integrated circuits and the multilayer structures used in both integrated-circuit…
