Abstract
Abstract Silicon-aluminum mixed oxide powder which is flame-hydrolytically produced and has a composition of 65 to 85% by weight Al 2 O 3 , remainder SiO 2 and an amorphous structure, in which each primary particle contains components of SiO 2 and of Al 2 O 3 , the primary particles are between 7 and 80 nm, preferably 10 and 40 nm in size and the specific surface of the powder is between 20 and 200 m 2 /g. The powder is used for the production of mullite and sintered compacts manufactured from it.
