Anisotropic designs of ceramics have attracted attention, because of their improved electrical, mechanical and other properties. Texture structured ceramics have been produced by hot forming, Templated Grain Growth (TGG) and so on. However, shape and orientation direction are limited, when using these techniques. On the other hand, we have reported that development of texture can be controlled by slip casting in a strong magnetic field followed by heating even for diamagnetic ceramics such as alumina. We report in this paper the mechanical properties of the textured alumina produced by a slip casting or electrophoretic deposition in a strong magnetic field
