ZrN Zirconium Nitride Powder CAS 25658-42-8

Zirconium Nitride (ZrN) is a gold-colored refractory ceramic renowned for its exceptional hardness, corrosion resistance, and decorative appeal. With a Vickers hardness of ~15-18 GPa and superior thermal stability (up to 2980°C), this material is widely used in cutting tools, medical implants, and semiconductor applications where durability and performance are critical.

Multifunctional Performance: Combines wear resistance (abrasion rate <10⁻⁶ mm³/N·m) with aesthetic appeal;
Corrosion Protection: Salt spray resistance >1000 hrs (ASTM B117);
Process Flexibility: Deposited via PVD, CVD, or ALD with excellent adhesion (>80N, ISO 20502);
Thermal Stability: Maintains properties in air up to 700°C;
