In the heat-resistant alumina ceramic of the present invention, it is directly important that fine spinel particles are dispersed in the grain boundaries between α-AI203 particles. The fine spinel particles dispersed at grain boundaries (between two grains) are thought to improve heat resistance by preventing slippage and intergranular cracking at high temperatures. When the grain size exceeds 0.1 μm, spinel grains are less likely to exist at the grain boundary (between two grains), and either exist at the entire grain boundary or precipitate at eight straight points (between three grains). Therefore, the high temperature characteristics are deteriorated instead.

The spinel content needs to be 1.5 to awt in terms of MgO. If it is less than 1.5 wt%, the heat resistance will not be improved because the amount of fine spinel particles dispersed at the grain boundaries will not be sufficient. Moreover, when the amount exceeds 3 wt%, it becomes difficult for spinel particles to be finely dispersed, and they tend to precipitate through grain boundaries or to precipitate at triple points.
