Abstract

The textured porous Al2O3 ceramics were prepared by slip casting in a strong magnetic field of 6 T and subsequently sintering. The c axis of Al2O3 grain was oriented parallel to the direction of the magnetic field and the textured porous microstructure with plate-shape grains was formed. The porosity of textured porous Al2O3 ceramic was 30.37% and the relative density reached 66.29% when the sintering temperature is 1600°C. The textured porous Al2O3 green body showed the linear shrinkage anisotropy. The bending strength of the textured porous Al2O3 ceramics depended on the alignment direction of plate-shape grains. The textured porous Al2O3 ceramics can be prepared by slip casting in a strong magnetic field of 6 T and subsequently sintering.The textured porous microstructure with plate-shape grains is obtained. The textured porous Al2O3 green body shows the sintering shrinkage anisotropy. The textured porous Al2O3 ceramic has the anisotropic bending strength based on the orientation of grains.
