Abstract: The effect of type of solid solution on the thermal stability of aluminium titanate (Al2TiO5) was investigated by using additives
to form different type of solid solution with Al2TiO5. It is shown that the formation of complete solid solution in both unstabilized
Al2TiO5 and Fe2O3-stabilized Al2TiO5 has the best effect on suppressing the thermal decomposition of Al2TiO5;interstitial solid solution and limited substitutional solid solution
are inferior to complete solid solution in stabilizing Al2TiO5;in contrast, the stability of Al2TiO5 which forms unequal-valency
substitutional solid solution is poorest.

Key words: aluminium titanate, thermal stability, thermal decomposition, solid solutio
