Surface of particles of TiNx-base powders produced by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis

Conclusions The surface of a powder produced by the nitration of titanium by the SHS method is covered with a titanium oxynitride film of 8- and 15-Å thickness. For a specimen of low total nitrogen content the [N/Ti]_at ratio is much higher in the surface layer than in whole volume of the specimen.Translated from Poroshkovaya Metallurgiya, No. 11(203), pp. 1–5, November, 1979.
