Abstract

Bulk ceramic nitrides (TiN, ZrN, HfN) were synthesized via direct high-temperature nitridation of metal preforms using localized resistive heating. The phase composition, density, microstructure, and high-temperature transport properties of the resulting ceramics were comprehensively investigated. The method yielded single-phase materials, with ZrN achieving near-theoretical density. The thermal conductivity was found to be highly microstructure-sensitive: fully dense ZrN exhibited the highest value of 18.5 W m–1 K–1, while the presence of porosity and microcracks in TiN and HfN substantially reduced their heat transfer capability. The specific heat capacity increased with temperature for all nitrides, and thermo-EMF measurements confirmed n-type conduction. This study establishes direct nitridation as an efficient single-step route for producing dense refractory ceramics and elucidates the critical link between synthesis-induced microstructure and thermophysical performance. The measured thermoelectric properties and stability suggest the potential of these nitride ceramics for high-temperature sensing applications.
