Abstract The phase field method was used to simulate the growth of pure α-Al2O3 grain generated in situ during high temperature sintering process of alumina fiber prepared by the sol-gel method. Combined with experiments, study the growth behavior and dynamics of α-Al2O3 grains at different sintering temperatures and different initial Al2O3 grain size in the high temperature sintering stage was studied. Both phase field simulation and experimental results show that in the sintering temperature range of 1200-1 500 ℃, the grain growth rate increases significantly with the increase of the sintering temperature, and the grain growth rate is the fastest in the temperature range of 1 400-1 500 ℃. The smaller the initial grain size, the greater the grain growth rate. The simulation result shows that the increasing unevenness of grain size can also promote grain growth.
