Abstract
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%.
