In this work, the combustion process of chromium powder in the co-flow filtration mode was studied. The effect of nitrogen-containing gas flow rate on the nitridation of combustion products is shown. The effect of the amount of argon in the nitrogen–argon mixture on the burning rate and the burning temperature of the chromium powder is shown. It was found that an increase in the percentage of argon in the nitrogen–argon mixture can lead to the formation of an inverse combustion wave. The actual burning temperature is higher than adiabatic burning temperature in the co-flow filtration mode, thus the phenomenon of superadiabatic heating is observed. The phase composition of the obtained combustion products was studied. It was shown that the forced filtration mode allows for synthesizing non-stoichiometric Cr2N nitride.

The combustion of the titanium and chromium powders in the co-current filtration mode was considered. We considered an original equipment that allows us to study the combustion of metal powders in a co-flow gas stream. It was demonstrated that the proportion of argon in a binary gas mixture has a greater influence on the burning temperature of titanium powder than the specific flow rate of the gas mixture. It was found that the actual burning temperature of chromium in the forced filtration mode is higher than the adiabatic temperature and the phenomenon of superadiabatic heating takes place. This method has high energy efficiency and allows you to get nitrides without the use of high pressures. It was found that co-current filtration promotes the formation of Cr2N nitride.
