Abstract

Polycrystalline alumina fibers were prepared by sol-gel method. The influence of heating rate on average tensile strength of fibers as well as the influence of calcining temperature on average tensile strength of fibers, crystal phases form, specific surface area of fibers were studied. The results show that when the heating rate (below 600°C) is 4°C/min,the average tensile strength of fibers over 1000Mpa The fibers pulverize obviously when the heating rate>7°C/min. The average tensile strength and the specific surface area of fibers decreased with calcining temperature rising. When the calcining temperature reaches over 1300°C, the average tensile strength of fibers decreased quickly and the specific surface area of fibers decreases slowly for the crystalline growth.
