Abstract: | The air oxidation mechanism of nanocrystalline TiN at 500 to 900 °C is examined. It is shown that at t ≤ 800 °C the oxidation
of titanium nitride is controlled by the diffusion of oxygen and at t > 800 °C the interdiffusion of titanium ions is observed.
The oxidation properties of porous TiN are determined by the chemical interaction of oxygen and the reaction surface, which
includes the external surface of samples and the internal surface of the pores into which oxygen penetrates. The time and
temperature dependence of the weight increment complies with the porous material oxidation model. Active initial oxidation
is due to the interaction of oxygen and large internal surface. Short-term self-heating of porous samples is also possible.
At t ≤ 800 °C, the pores are obliterated with oxides with time, the internal reaction surface reduces, an external oxide film
is formed, the oxygen diffusion and weight increment slow down, and the process stabilizes. With temperature increase, these
processes are activated and lead to a smaller weight increment at the final stage (2 to 4 h) at 800 °C as compared with 600
°C. At t > 800 °C the pore obliteration rate increases, but due to the interaction of oxygen and titanium ions that diffuse
into the external scale surface, weight increment continuously increases with both time and oxidation temperature. The phase
composition of the scale also affects the oxidation mechanism of porous TiN. Oxynitride of terminal composition plays a protective
role; the transformation of anatase into rutile is accompanied by a decrease in the oxygen diffusion rate; Ti2O3 formed in pores accelerates their obliteration.
