Electrostatically stabilized alumina suspensions with high solids content of up to 58 vol% were consolidated into near-net-shape parts via centrifugal casting. High density green bodies showed excellent sintering kinetics leading to {ge} 99.5% of theoretical density (TD) at lowered temperatures compared to isostatic pressing. Four point bend strengths of 540 MPa with Weibull moduli of up to 24 were achieved using commercial {alpha}-alurnina powders.
