Abstract
Vanadium nitride was prepared by heating a mixture of vanadium pentoxide an d graphite powder under a flowing nitrogen atmosphere. The resultant nitrid e was evaluated by powder X-ray diffraction and chemical analysis. The effe cts of various experimental parameters, such as oxide-to-carbon ratio, nitr ogen flow rate, nitriding temperature and time, compacting pressure, etc., on the extent of nitridation as well as the purity of the vanadium nitride, were studied.
