▎ 摘　　要

This paper focused on the nano-functionalization of carbon-bonded alumina using graphene oxide (GO) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). GO was prepared according to the modified Tour's method. The rheology of suspensions containing GO, CNTs and both substances were analyzed and discussed. Xanthan proved to be a suitable stabilizer for the three systems. The spraying process of the suspensions was investigated with the aid of a high-speed camera. Al2O3-C filters and flat samples were spray coated, for investigations in contact with steel. The ceramic foam filters as well as the starting suspensions were analyzed by several analytic techniques to investigate the microstructure and other properties. Moreover, the hot stage microscope was used to study the steel/coating wetting behavior during operation at high temperatures. The results showed that the formulation containing both GO and CNTs delivered the best performance in contact with the melt. Similar coatings based on these nano-sized materials may offer an innovative route to improve purification of steel melts by filtration.
