                Aluminium oxide should be a soft material, how can be it used as a cutter?

                Aluminium oxide is used for its hardness and strength and low specific heat.

                Yes its one of the main property of aluminum mixer.

                Aluminium oxide is have a high temperature.

                Silicon carbide has a greater impact-resistance than aluminium oxide. Then why can't we use SiC?

                Aluminium oxide is resistance to corrosion and its a hard metal too.

                Then whats the concept behind using silicon coating in turbine blades?

                Silicon carbide or aluminum oxide are both used. But, when cost and readily available material is needed Aluminium oxide is used.

                Silicon carbide or aluminium oxide are property is important for cutting tools.

                May be al203 is cheaper.
