Rheological behaviors of alumina aqueous suspension were investigated, and some methods to modify the rheological behaviors of the suspensions were studied. It was found that there is a critical solid volume fraction for alumina aqueous suspensions. When the volume fraction reaches or exceeds the critical value the suspensions show shear thinning behaviors all along, while above which the rheological behaviors of alumina suspensions change from shear thinning to shear thickening.
