The characteristics and uses of alumina powder in the industry
The common ones are α-Al2O3 and γ-Al2O3. Corundum in nature is α-Al2O3, hexagonal close-packed crystals. α-Al2O3 has a melting point of 2015±15°C, a density of 3.965g/cm3, and a hardness of 8.8. It is insoluble in water, acid or alkali. γ-Al2O3 is a cubic close-packed crystal, insoluble in water, but soluble in acid and alkali, and
