In this work, different Al2O3/Al2TiO5 composites were obtained with high thermal and mechanical properties for high-temperature applications by a low-cost process.  Rutile was added to alumina with a different content (0-40 wt%) to promote its sinterability and thermo-mechanical response.  Evaluation of the produced composites in terms of phase composition, densification, microstructural features, mechanical and thermal properties was investigated.  Notably, the addition of rutile has a substantial effect on promoting the thermal properties and thermal stability of the obtained composites up to a high temperature of 1400 °C.  The present study shows that addition of rutile ore to alumina is one economical way of improving the densification and thermal expansion of Al2O3 for high temperature applications.  Using a clean source such as rutile ore that contains some thermal stabilizers as Fe2O3, Al2O3, SiO2, ZrO2, and MgO instead of pure TiO2 has played a noticeable role in improving the reaction sintering and resulting in a highly qualified material.
