The thermal stability of aluminum titanate (AT) ceramics is the main problem that restricted its extensive applications in many fields. In this paper, AT ceramics doped with single or composite additives of MgO, SiO2, mullite were fabricated by solid phase synthesis method. The thermal stability was tested by heated for 50h at 1100°C, and the phases of the samples were tested by X-ray diffraction (XRD) , and the microstructure were tested by SEM. The mechanism of the thermal stability of AT with additive was discussed based on DSC/TGA and electron back scatter diffraction pattern (EBSP). The results show that the adding of composite additives can improve the thermal stability of AT ceramics.
