The in‐flight nitridation of MoSi 2 powder particles was attempted in an argon‐nitrogen induction plasma, with and without tail gas quenching. The inductive power level, reactor pressure, plasma‐gas composition, and quantity of quench gas, as well as the species of quench gas, were investigated to obtain substantial nitridation of the MoSi 2 powder particles. Under investigated conditions, ∼2.8 wt% of nitrogen was incorporated into the MoSi 2 powder particles.
