The oxidized hexagonal aluminum bar is obtained by chemically treating the bauxite raw material to remove oxides of silicon, iron, titanium, etc., and is a high purity alumina raw material, and the Al2O3 content is generally above 99%. The mineral phase consists of 40% to 76% γ-Al2O3 and 24% to 60% α-Al2O3. γ-Al2O3 can be converted to α-Al2O3 (corundum) at 950-1200 °C, and ficant volume shrinkage occurs at the same time.
