In traditional aqueous slurry freezing casting processing, the growth method of ice crystals is hard to control, resulting in the uncontrollable pore's morphologies of the porous ceramics. In the experimental, the pure Al 2 O 3 sol was used to substitute water as a medium for preparing ceramic slurry. With Al 2 O 3 sol addition, it becomes easy to control the microstructure and pore's morphologies of the porous Al 2 O 3 ceramics via adjusting of the solid loading, composition of the ceramic slurries, as well as the cooling methods. The SEM micrographs showed that the sol-contained ceramic slurry combined with freeze casting processing can easily prepare the porous Al 2 O 3 ceramics with different pore sizes and different morphologies. The porous Al 2 O 3 ceramics prepared from 70wt.% to 90wt.% solid loading sol-contained Al 2 O 3 slurries and sintered at 1500°C for 2h have open porosities from 81.7% to 64.6%.
