Official Description

The Air Force has developed a route to a ceramic powder of interest. The Air Force has demonstrated within its laboratories that the process can be scaled to 1 kg batches. Quality control for powder production has been established via ICP-OES/ICP-MS, XRD, SEM cross section of powder green bodies, and TEM with EDS analysis. ICP has been used to analyze for trace impurities and stoichiometric purity. SEM and TEM are used to analyze secondary phase content. At the laboratory scale the powder is at ...
