Abstract

A new approach for synthesizing nitride intermetallics is proposed in the present investigation.The source of nitrogen is liquid nitrogen and the reaction was induced by a metal jet generated by conical shaped charges.An aluminum jet, generated by an aluminum cone, was penetrated into liquid nitrogen mixed with titanium powders.Under a moderate condition,some small sized blocks of 2-3 mm were recovered and the blocks were characterized.The results confirmed the evidence of inducing intermetallics,and the intermetallics formed were titanium nitride and titanium-aluminum nitrides.
