Submicrometer-sized SiC coated with SiO_2 of 0.4–1.8 wt.% and α–Al_2O_3 powder of median size 0.2 μ m were mixed in aqueous solutions in the pH range 3.0–10.0. The SiC/Al_2O_3 (4.3–6.9 wt. %) powders were consolidated by filtration through gypsum molds and hot-pressed at 1600°–2040 °C under a pressure of 39 MPa. These compacts were densified to near the theoretical density at 1700°–1800 °C. The sintering mechanisms are discussed based on the analysis of shrinkage curves of SiC/Al_2O_3 compacts during hot-pressing. The equiaxed SiC grains grew with low aspect ratios below 1800 °C and changed to plate-like grains at 1900 °C. The fracture toughness of SiC as a function of average grain size reached a maximum of 5 Mpa · m^0.5 at 2.5 μ m grains of low aspect ratios of 1–2. The flexural strengths at room temperature were 230–430 MPa in the SiC above 98% of the theoretical density and showed a similar grain size dependence.
