Abstract:Abstract. The microstructure and compositions of SiC materials from different sources and processing routes were investigated by means of EPMA/WDS and image analysis techniques. The influence of various sources of errors like carbon contamination and spectrometers defocusing on the analysis has been assessed.The presence of dissolved sintering aids, or impurities, and their distributions were investigated by EPMA/WDS. In addition, inhomogeneities, porosity agglomerations and heterogeneous inclusions were found… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
