<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a novel method for producing an aluminum titanate ceramic that shows little change in volume when heated. <P>SOLUTION: The method for producing the aluminum titanate ceramic comprises a step in which a starting material mixture that contains a titanium source powder, an aluminum source powder and a negative thermal expansion material and/or a precursor mixture, which is converted into a negative thermal expansion material by firing, is fired. Also the aluminum titanate ceramic which is obtained by the production method is disclosed. Preferable examples of the negative thermal expansion material include zirconium tungstate. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
