ZrO sub 2 was prepared on 316L stainless steel substrates by dip-coating using a sol preparation involving sonocatalysis (ultrasound irradiation using a transducer). Zirconium isopropoxide diluted in isopropanol was used as the source of zirconia. The substrates were degreased, dipped, heated to rem...
