In this study, aqueous alumina suspension consisting of constant solid loading was chosen as a model system in order to observe the effect of particle packing structure in green tape on sintering deformation. The specific particle packing structure in consolidated green tape was intentionally formed during tape casting, for instance, a non-uniform particle packing structure (Type-I) and a relatively uniform particle packing structure (Type-II). The development of deformation in sintered specimens was explainable from anisotropic packing structure. Alumina tapes with Type-I structure particularly showed warping which was transverse to the casting direction. Tapes with Type-II structure appeared with irregular distortion which was expected as a result of the localized non-uniform particle packing structure.
