Abstract

A sintered aluminum titanate-mullite base ceramic having a chemical composition of not more than 0.8% of MgO, from 53 to 74% of Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, from 14 to 33% of TiO.sub.2, from 1.2 to 5% of Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3, from 6 to 20% of SiO.sub.2, and not more than 0.3% of (CaO+Na.sub.2 O+K.sub.2 O), and an amount of glass in mullite base matrices of the sintered body being not more than 5% when measured at a section of the sintered body. This aluminum titanate-mullite base ceramic is obtained by compounding from 40 to 65% of a starting material of aluminum titanate essentially consisting of from 45 to 62% of Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, from 34 to 50% of TiO.sub.2, from 3 to 7% of Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3, not more than 1% of SiO.sub.2 and not more than 0.3% of (CaO+Na.sub.2 O+K.sub.2 O) with from 35 to 60% of a starting material of mullite essentially consisting of from 18 to 32% of SiO.sub.2, from 68 to 82% of Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, and not more than 0.85% of (Fe.sub.2 O.sub.3 +TiO.sub.2 +CaO+MgO+Na.sub.2 O+K.sub.2 O), at least one of said aluminum titanate starting material and said mullite starting material being fired, and molding a resulting mixture, and firing a thus obtained molding at from 1,550.degree. …
