Silicon-aluminum mixed oxide powder which is flamehydrolytically produced and has a composition of 65 to 85% by weight Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, remainder SiO.sub.2 and an amorphous structure, in which each primary particle contains components of SiO.sub.2 and of Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, the primary particles are between 7 and 80 nm, preferably 10 and 40 nm in size and the specific surface of the powder is between 20 and 200 m.sup.2 /g. The powder is used for the production of mullite and sintered compacts manufactured from it.
