Analysis of the product

Transcript

The type of O-Sialon produced is then analysed using a technique called X-ray diffraction. This type of analysis gives information about the structure and identity of the chemical phases formed in the fired ceramic. It enables a check on the phase purity of the product and an assessment as to whether the ceramic reactions have gone to completion.
