You didn't say how thick the coating should be. If you are seeking thin films, ca.
The main requirement for EPD is the use of stable suspensions. Thus if you prepare a stable suspension of ZrO2 particles, there should be no problem in depositing them by EPD. The paper by J.A. Escribano et al (2012, Key Engineering Materials, 507, 61, DOI: 10.4028/www.scientific.net/KEM.507.61) describes the deposition of YSZ nanoparticles onto AISI 304 stainless steel substrates. However, a different matter is how thick do you want the film to be...
Using Electrophoretic deposition, I deposited ZrO2 on 316 Stainless steel by charging the particle by adding some additives(polymer). I got the uniform coating (Thick 100micrometer). But the adhesion property is very poor. How can i improve the adhesion properties. Does any one have the idea?
Using carboxylic acids or other ionic adsorbates it is possible to enhance the effectiveness of ZrO2 EPD in terms of dispersion stability, deposition rates and adhesion. You can look at the paper below for more details:
