Abstract

A theoretical analysis of the formation of refractory metal nitrides through the combustion of metal powders in a nitrogen atmosphere is presented. Thermodynamic and kinetic criteria are employed to determine the dependence of the process on the nitrogen pressure and on the porosity of the compacts. For metals which can dissolve large amounts of nitrogen, the relative contributions of the processes of nitrogen dissolution and nitride phase formation are analysed.
