| Abstract: | The in-flight nitridation of MoSi2 powder particles was attempted in an argon-nitrogen induction plasma, with and without tail gas quenching. The inductive power level, reactor pressure, plasma-gas composition, and quantity of quench gas, as well as the species of quench gas, were investigated to obtain substantial nitridation of the MoSi2 powder particles. Under investigated conditions, ∼2.8 wt% of nitrogen was incorporated into the MoSi2 powder particles. |
