Abstract
Ceramic preforms comprising monocrystalline hexagonal platelets of .alpha.-alumina, well adopted for conversion into refractory bricks or ceramic composites, are prepared by crystallizing a settled fine powder of amorphous alumina, transition alumina or alumina hydrate, advantageously in the presence of a fluoro-compound flux, into a coherent mass of such hexagonal platelets of .alpha.-alumina.
