The invention discloses a method for rapidly measuring the particle size of 
titanium nitride in high-speed wire steel. The method comprises the following steps of analyzing a sample on a spark 
spectrometer, opening a time-resolved window at 60 to 350 microseconds, performing 
spark discharge on the sample 1,000 to 2,000 times, and recording the measured 
light intensity of a 
titanium channel during the 
discharge each time; calculating an average value Ip and the standard deviation S of regular pulses I(Zi), calculating a threshold value Y of the 
pulse light intensity, converting the 
titanium irregular 
pulse intensity I(Yi) and the titanium regular 
pulse intensity I(Zi) into corresponding titanium content by using a 
standard curve respectively, calculating the content of titanium in the 
titanium nitride by using a difference value of the converted titanium content, calculating the content of the 
titanium nitride, and converting the content of the 
titanium nitride into the 
mass of the titanium 
nitride so as to finally obtain the particle size of the titanium 
nitride. According to the method, requirements on the preparation of the sample are un-harsh, the high measurement speed is ensured, the omission is avoided, a 
lower limit value of detection on the particle size of the titanium nitride can be lowered to be less than 1 
micrometer, and a new solution is provided for the rapid measurement on the particle size of the titanium nitride.
