<p>A method for producing hexagonal, laminar, alpha aluminum oxide monocrystals having a grain size of about 16 to about 250 microns, and a diameter to thickness ratio of about 3:1 to about 7:1. Aluminum hydroxide of particle size greater than 60 microns is calcined in the presence of a fluorine-containing mineralizer at a temperature of greater than 1200 DEG C. but no more than 1450 DEG C., and the desired grain size is separated from the calcinate.</p> |
