DIN EN 12698-2:2007-06

The European Standard specifies methods for the determination of mineralogical phases typically apparent in nitride and oxy-nitride bonded silicon carbide refractory products using a Bragg-Brentano diffractometer. It includes details of sample preparation and general principles for qualitative and quantitative analysis of mineralogical phase composition. Quantitative determination of alpha- and beta-silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, aluminium nitride, as well as SiAlON are described.
