Abstract

The morphology of Al2O3, ZrO2/Y2O3, AIN, B4C, BN, SiC, Si3N4, TiB2, TiC, TiN ceramic, graphite and diamond powders has been studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the specific area of each powder was determined with the BET method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) investigations have been carried out in order to evaluate the crystallinity and determine the constitutive phases. The chemical composition was assessed by classical chemical analyses and by X-ray microprobe; some powders were studied by the laser micro-Raman technique. Correlations have been established between all these results.
