The invention discloses a nickel-based titanium nitride metal ceramic coating material and preparation method and application thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps that S1, mixing and ball milling, carrying out ball milling on a mixed raw material and a ball milling solvent; the mixed raw materials are calculated according to the mass ratio of 60%-85% of a titanium nitride,10-30% of nickel and 0.5-10% of carbon; S2, mixed forming agent, after the ball milling is finished, adding the mixed forming agent into the ball mill to carry out rolling ball milling, and a mixed material liquid is obtained; S3, spray granulation, carrying out spray granulation on the mixed material liquid in the step S2, so as to obtain mixed materials; S4, carbonizing to prepare the powder, drying the mixed material granules in the step S3, then carrying out carbonization and solid solution reaction in a high-temperature carbonization furnace to obtain (Ti, Ni) (C,N) solid solution powder; S5, screening particles, the (Ti, Ni) (C,N) solid solution powder is sieved by a mesh sieve, so as to obtain the nickel-based titanium nitride metal ceramic coating material with the average grain diameter of 60-100 microns. The nickel-based titanium nitride metal ceramic coating material prepared by the preparation method has high wear resistance and strong corrosion resistance.
