Abstract

A plasma fluorine resistant polycrystalline alumina ceramic material is produced by forming a green body including alumina and a binder, and sintering the green body for a time from about 8 to 12 hours. The area % of unsintered particles in the polycrystalline alumina ceramic material does not exceed 0.1 area %, resulting in reduced emission of particles from the material after exposure to plasma fluorine.
