Abstract

Provided are a method for producing an alumina sintered compact satisfying the following (1) and (2), which comprises mixing and sintering an ilmenite powder and an alumina powder; the alumina sintered compact obtained according to the production method; and an abrasive grain and a grain stone. (1) The total amount of the TiO 2 -equivalent content of the titanium compound, the Fe 2 O 3 -equivalent content of the iron compound and the alumina content is at least 98% by mass; (2) The total amount of the TiO 2 -equivalent content of the titanium compound and the Fe 2 O 3 -equivalent content of the iron compound is from 5 to 13% by mass.

Claims (11)

1. A method for producing an alumina sintered compact satisfying the following (1) and (2), which comprises mixing and sintering an ilmenite powder and an alumina powder:

(1) a total amount of a TiO 2 -equivalent content of the ilmenite powder, a Fe 2 O 3 -equivalent content of the ilmenite powder and an alumina content is at least 98% by mass based on the total mass of the alumina sintered compact;

(2) a total amount of the TiO 2 -equivalent content of the ilmenite powder and the Fe 2 O 3 -equivalent content of the ilmenite powder is from 5 to 13% by mass based on the total mass of the alumina sintered compact.

2. The method for producing an alumina sintered compact according to claim 1 , wherein the mixing ratio by mass of the ilmenite powder to the alumina powder (ilmenite powder/alumina powder) is from 0.05/0.95 to 0.16/0.84.

3. The method for producing an alumina sintered compact according to claim 1 , wherein the cumulative mass 50% diameter (d50) of the ilmenite powder and the alumina powder is at most 3 μm each.

4. The method for producing an alumina sintered compact according to claim 1 , wherein at least a silicon compound power or a calcium compound powder is further mixed.

5. The method for producing an alumina sintered compact according to claim 4 , wherein the silicon compound powder is silica and the calcium compound powder is at least one selected from the group consisting of calcium oxide and calcium carbonate.

6. The method for producing an alumina sintered compact according to claim 1 , wherein a composite oxide powder is further mixed, wherein the composite oxide is formed by at least two components selected from the group consisting of silica, calcium oxide and alumina.

7. An alumina sintered compact obtained by the production method of claim 1 .

8. An abrasive grain comprising the alumina sintered compact of claim 7 .

9. A grind stone having a layer of the abrasive grains of claim 8 as the working face thereof.
