Conclusions
The porosity of corundum intermediate products can be reduced by 6–7% by baking them at 1300°C and impregnating them three times with the melt of a 3/1 mixture of ammonium alum and potash alum while vibrating them to accelerate and improve the process.
The use of alumina fired beforehand at 1750°C and the impregnation of the specimens with the melt gave intermediate products with an open porosity of 17–19% which resulted in the firing shrinkage and deformation of the corundum ceramic being reduced by more than half without a degradation of its properties, whichwere similar to those of Kador ceramic.
