PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a nitride film which has a high nitride content and is thick and dense, and to provide a method for easily forming the nitride film on a substrate. SOLUTION: The method for forming the nitride film includes thermal-spraying a mixture substantially composed of a powder of a metallic element or a non-metallic element, which is a raw material for thermal spraying, and a powder of the nitride of the element. The method inhibits a nitriding reaction between element powders and the coagulation of the powders due to consequent crystal growth, by the existence of the nitride powder, and as a result, can easily provide the dense and thick nitride film. The film-forming method also includes previously mixing the nitride powder, thereby increases a nitride content in the film and simultaneously relatively decreases a ratio of an unreacted element powder, and consequently provides the thick film with the high nitride content.
