| Abstract: | The production of titanium nitride, TiN, whiskers by reaction of sodium titanium bronze, NaxTiO2 (STB), with excess sodium cyanide, NaCN, at 1000°C is reported. The solubility of Ti from a STB in molten NaCN has been estimated experimentally. The TiN whiskers obtained under different experimental conditions have been examined by scanning electron microscopy and analyzed by analytical electron microscopy. |
