The 23 pages that link to Aluminium oxide, each with the reason it gives.

• Silicon carbideCompared with: Alumina is a common abrasive and refractory alternative to SiC, with different hardness and chemical behavior.

• AluminaRelated: Aluminum oxide is the chemical name for the material called alumina.

• Magnesium oxideCompared with: It offers a contrasting refractory oxide with different bonding and chemical behavior.

• AluminiumRelated: A thin layer of this oxide protects aluminium from further corrosion.

• LateriteRelated: Aluminum oxides remain concentrated as more soluble materials are removed.

• OxideBroader topic: Its hardness and thermal stability make it useful in abrasives and ceramics.

• Zinc oxideCompared with: It is a stable ceramic oxide without ZnO’s comparable semiconductor and piezoelectric uses.

• AbrasiveBroader topic: Its toughness and versatility make it a widely used synthetic abrasive.

• CorundumNarrower topic: Corundum is the naturally occurring crystalline mineral form of this compound.

• Aluminium smeltingRelated: Its stable oxide chemistry makes direct carbon reduction impractical, motivating electrolysis.

• SapphireNarrower topic: It is the chemical substance forming sapphire’s crystal lattice.

• Metal oxideBroader topic: Its hardness and thermal stability make it useful in abrasives and refractory ceramics.

• Aluminium hydroxideRelated: Heating aluminium hydroxide drives off water and produces this oxide.

• AnodizingBroader topic: Anodizing aluminum builds an oxide layer whose structure depends on the process.

• Boron carbideCompared with: It is a common, lower-cost armor ceramic alternative with greater density.

• Chromium(III) oxideCompared with: Both oxides have corundum-type structures, but chromium(III) oxide is green and aluminum oxide is typically colorless.

• Magnesium fluorideCompared with: Aluminum oxide is a durable optical coating alternative with different transparency and refractive index.

• Aluminium fluorideCompared with: Aluminium oxide supplies the aluminium, while aluminium fluoride modifies the electrolyte that dissolves it.

• Boron groupBroader topic: Alumina is used in ceramics, abrasives, and as the feedstock for aluminum production.

• Sodium aluminateRelated: It is a common feedstock for producing sodium aluminate by reaction with caustic soda.

• Aluminium foilRelated: The oxide layer protects foil from rapid corrosion despite its very large surface area.

• Aluminium nitrateBroader topic: It is the solid residue formed when aluminium nitrate is strongly heated.

• ChrysoberylRelated: Aluminum and oxygen form the framework of chrysoberyl’s oxide structure.
