Popis: Calculations of chemical equilibria for the TiH{sub 2}-BN system using the Villars, Cruise, Smith (VCS) algorithm were carried out for the 27--2,027 C temperature range and the 1.3 {times} 10{sup {minus}3}--1 {times} 10{sup 7} Pa pressure range. Two BN:TiH{sub 2} molar ratios were selected, 1:1 and 2:1. It follows from these studies that TiH{sub 2} can react with BN in a very wide range of pressures and temperatures, giving new phases, namely TiB{sub 2}, TiB, and TiN. The formation of these phases is strongly influenced by pressure-temperature parameters. In order to verify theoretical calculations by experiment, equimolar and Z:1 BN:TiH{sub 2} batches were prepared and heated at 1,427 C under vacuum, in an argon atmosphere, and under high pressure. Phase identification carried out by X-ray diffraction fully corroborated the computational results.
