Abstract
Due to the great hardness, hard nitrides have been extensively used in cutting tools and wear-resistant parts. The nitride also shows excellent high-temperature strength and good corrosion resistance. The purpose of this research is to develop the technology for the synthesis of titanium nitride by the reaction of titanium metal and nitrogen. The titanium nitride(TiN_x) can be manufactured by the several methods. In the present work, bulk TiN_x has been synthesized by the reaction of titanium and nitrogen followed by homogenizing annealing. The homogeneous TiN_(x≥1.0) can be obtained at 1000℃ with the lattice parameter and specific gravity of 0.424㎚ and 5.39g/㎤, respectively similar to that of pure grade TiN.
