Abstract

Bloating of samples has been seen to happen under certain processing and sintering conditions. This bloating has been attributed to Ar gas trapped in the Ti powder. There is a need to determine if this is the source, or if not, what the source of the bloating may be. PIXE and XPS have been suggested as methods of determination
