Abstract
The morphology of Al2O3, ZrO2/Y2O3, AIN, B4C, BN, SIC, Si3N4, TiB2, TI C, TIN ceramic, graphite and diamond powders has been studied by scann ing electron microscopy (SEM) and the specific area of each powder was determined with the BET method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) investigation s have been carried out in order to evaluate the crystallinity and det ermine the constitutive phases. The chemical composition was assessed by classical chemical analyses and by X-ray microprobe; some powders w ere studied by the laser micro-Raman technique. Correlations have been established between all these results.
