Extrusion of α‐Al2O3–Boehmite Mixtures

Abstract
A water‐based binder system consisting of colloidal boehmite (AlO(OH)) and 0.3 wt% poly(vinyl alcohol) was developed for low‐pressure piston‐type extrusion of alumina. Batches using this binder system and two different types of commerical alumina powder were characterized with regard to extrusion pressure, densification, and physical properties in the green and fired states.
