Abstract: Titanium nitride powder was synthesized by microwave carbothermal reduction of titanium oxide. The mechanism and thermal dynamics of the reaction process were studied. The results show that the microwave carbothermal reduction technology has unique advantages over the conventional reduction methods. It can not only lower the reaction temperature, shorten the synthesis cycle, but also refine the product particles,as well as improving the reactivity of the powder.

Key words: TiN microwave, carbothermal reduction
