Calcium aluminate (CaAlO 3) is an aluminate ceramic used in refractory cements and shapes, as well as synthetic slag additions for metallurgical operations. Sapphire is a high-purity and high-density, ...
In the lab Researchers at TU Wien employed noncontact atomic force microscopy and computational modelling to determine the structure of the aluminium oxide surface. (Courtesy: TU Wien) Determining the ...
To reduce costs, powdered aluminium oxide is dissolved in molten cryolite. This ionic compound melts at a lower temperature than aluminium oxide. The oxygen reacts with the carbon anodes ...
