Title: 221 Reaction synthesis of TiN and AlN in liquid nitrogen with wire explosion
Abstract: Nitrides, especially titanium nitride (TiN) and aluminum nitride (AlN) are studied for their significant characteristics. But there are many problems of synthesis like microparticulation and synthesis time, cost reduction. A new method to synthesize TiN and A1N through electrical wire explosion of titanium wire and aluminum wire in liquid nitrogen is proposed. In this process, high-purity and nano-sized nitrides is recovered in a short time. In this investigation, the details of the method of wire explosion and some analytical results for recovered powders are described. Under a moderate condition, TiN and A1N powders were successfully recovered.
