Production of Titanium Nitride Nanopowder from Titanium Hydride Based on Synthesis in Thermal Plasma

摘要

The synthesis of TiN nanopowder from titanium hydride in thermal plasma generated in DC arc plasmatron is investigated experimentally. It is shown that a single-phase TiN nanopowder can be produced within a two-stage process consisting of plasma synthesis and separation of powdered product by means of sedimentation. The yield of nanopowder is up to 90%.
