Abstract: The mechanical properties of an aluminum titanate-based ceramic are increased by decreasing the grain growth kinetic of the initial material, which is synthesized by melting in a solar furnace. The thermomechanical properties are improved if the following additives are introduced: mullite, spinel, and a eutectic of Al2O3-ZrO2.
