Abstract: Ammonium aluminum carbonate hydroxide(AACH), the precursor of α-Al2O3, was fabricated with NH4Al(SO4)2 and NH4HCO3 via a precipitation method. During the heat treatment AACH undergoes such a phase transformation process: amorphous(350℃)→γ(700℃)→γ+θ(1050℃)→θ+α (1100℃)→α (1200℃). Oxides, such as TiO2 sol and MgO sol were introduced into the precursor. Then both the α transformation temperature and the particle sizes of α-Al2O3 are decreased. The microstructures and its surface electronic properties of the powders are modified, and its dispersion property is improved. Doping TiO2 sol grains, AACH completes α phase transformation nearly at 1100℃, its first-order diameter is about 120nm. Doping with MgO sol grains, α phase transformation completes after being sintered at 1100℃.
