Notes

  1. A reference to aluminum oxide (Al2O3) in general often implies corundum (α-Al2O3), although in a stricter sense, Al2O3 includes all, even metastable modifications.

  2. There is an alternative classification, according to which materials with εr > 7 (silicon nitride), including Al2O3, are placed in the high dielectric permittivity group.

  3. There are also metastable aluminum orthosilicates Al2SiO5 (sillimanite, andalusite, and kyanite).

  4. According to Ref. [18], the composition, density and hardness of the specified corundum abrasives may differ somewhat from the data provided in Table 6.
