C. to 1,600.degree. C., in which the mixed gas has a ratio of ammonia gas (NH.sub.3) to hydrocarbon gas (CmHn) translated into CH.sub.4, ranging from 10 (NH.sub.3) to 1.0 (CH.sub.4) to 2,000 (NH.sub.3) to 1 (CH.sub.4), by volume. The metal nitride powder contains lesser amounts of oxygen and carbon.
