'''Aluminium oxide''' is an amphoteric oxide of [[Chemistry:Aluminium|aluminium]] with the [[Chemistry:Chemical formula|chemical formula]] {{chem2|Al2O3}}. It is also commonly referred to as '''alumina''' or '''aloxite'''<ref name="CI14835">[http://www.chemindustry.com/chemicals/14835.html "Aloxite"], ''ChemIndustry.com'' database, retrieved 24 February 2007</ref> in the mining, ceramic and [[Physics:Materials science|materials science]] communities. It is produced by the [[Chemistry:Bayer process|Bayer process]] from [[Earth:Bauxite|bauxite]]. Its most significant use is in the production of [[Chemistry:Aluminium|aluminium]] metal, although it is also used as an [[Engineering:Abrasive|abrasive]] due to its hardness and as a [[Chemistry:Refractory|refractory]] material due to its high melting point.<ref name = azom>{{cite web | title = Alumina (Aluminium Oxide) – The Different Types of Commercially Available Grades | url = http://www.azom.com/details.asp?ArticleID=1389 | publisher = The A to Z of Materials | accessdate = 2007-10-27 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20071010063029/http://www.azom.com/details.asp?ArticleID=1389 | archive-date = 2007-10-10 | url-status = dead }}</ref>
