Abstract

The invention relates to a method of fabrication in the powdered state of ceramic compounds formed between a metalloid and a refractory metal, characterized in that it involves the following steps: PA0 a) said metalloid is caused to react with a reducing metal within a liquid bath constituted at least partly by a fused salt of said reducing metal in order to obtain a saltlike intermediate compound which combines said reducing metal and the metalloid, in solution in said bath, PA0 b) a reducible salt of said refractory metal is then injected into said bath in a divided form which is directly distributed throughout the bath in order to produce said powder by reaction of the reducible salt with said intermediate compound of the reducing metal.
