A method of electrophoretic deposition of a ceramic green body. A ceramic powder is optionally washed with a polar solvent such as deionized water, dried, and suspended in a polar organic solvent in a proportion of at least 20% by weight. A positive surface charge is imposed on the suspended particles by conventional means such as ball milling or ultrasonic treatment. A green body is deposited on a cathode by passing a direct electric current of constant current density through the suspension. The density of the green body generally is at least 70% of theoretical. The density of the fired body generally is at least 98% of theoretical. A layered green body may be deposited by using several suspensions of differing global ceramic composition and depositing each microlayer in a different suspension.
