Abstract
γ-LiAlO2 ceramics with different grain sizes were prepared by controlling the sintering process and regulating the size and shape of the precursor powders. It was found that a size gradation of powders promoted the growth of γ-LiAlO2 grains. Ceramics with an average grain size of 10 μm were prepared from the size-graded powders. It was demonstrated that the shape of the precursor powders greatly affected the grain growth of the ceramics whereas the granulation of the powders restrained the abnormal grain growth. Furthermore nano-sized precursor powders obtained by a sol–gel route made it possible to prepare nano-structured γ-LiAlO2 ceramics.
