Abstract
Titanium oxide-containing aluminum oxide particles are based on corundum melted in an electric arc furnace from calcined alumina. The particles may have an aluminum oxide content of less than 97.0% by weight, a titanium oxide content ranging from 1.3% by weight to 1.8% by weight, and a zirconium oxide content of ranging from 0.02% by weight to 0.1% by weight. The aluminum oxide particles may have an arithmetic mean compactness of less than 0.8.

3. A method for producing titanium oxide-containing aluminum oxide particles based on corundum melted in an electric arc furnace from alumina, comprising:
-
melting a mixture of Al2O3, TiO2, SiO2, and Fe2O3 containing raw materials in the presence of iron filings and charcoal in the electric light arc furnace, cooling the melted mixture to obtain a solid block, which consists substantially of corundum, and comminuting and processing of the corundum block into defined particle size distributions, wherein raw materials, which contain small quantities of contaminations, are thereby used as raw materials, chosen from the group consisting of calcined alumina, rutile, ilmenite, and iron ore in such quantities that titanium oxide-containing aluminum oxide particles comprising the chemical composition Al2O3 less than 97.0% by weight, Fe2O3 0.05% by weight to 0.2% by weight, SiO2 0.1% by weight to 0.5% by weight, TiO2 1.3% by weight to 1.8% by weight, ZrO2 0.02% by weight to 0.1% by weight, Na2O 0.05% by weight 2.0% by weight, and others less than 0.2% by weight, and an arithmetic mean compactness of less than 0.8 are formed, wherein the measure for the compactness is the solidity (S), which is determined with the help of a picture analysis and which is defined as the ratio of the actual particle surface (A) to the convex particle surface (B).
