The Al2O3–C materials were fabricated using tabular alumina aggregates and fines, Si powder and resin powder as starting materials. The effect of firing atmosphere on the in-situ formation of SiC nanowires (NWs) at elevated temperatures was investigated. The results show that Al2O3–C samples with su...
