Solid, shaped and fired fibers of TiOand TiOare made by firing TiOfibers in a reducing atmosphere. In a first aspect, the TiOfibers are made by extruding into air a viscous TiOgel and heat treating the resulting green fibers to remove solvent, decompose and to volatilize undesired constituents to form electrically conductive, refractory fibers of TiOand TiO. In a second aspect, solid, shaped and fired fibers of TiOand TiOare made by firing extruded fibers from mixtures of TiO.
