Abstract
The report summarises the characteristics of SiC powders which influen ce the ability to obtain fully dense (non porous) ceramics, with good mechanical properties, via the sintering process. Methods for characte rising powder properties, such as particle size, morphology, bulk and surface chemistry, are outlined and specific examples are referenced. The characteristics of typical commercial SiC powders are tabulated.
