Chromium Nitride (CrN & Cr₂N)

Product Overview
Chromium nitride (CrN & Cr₂N) is a metal nitride with exceptional properties. CrN and Cr₂N are the two common structures of chromium nitride. These compounds are stable at room temperature, possess high melting points, great hardness, and excellent wear resistance, along with strong antioxidant properties. Chromium nitride is widely used in materials science, surface treatments, and coating technologies.

Key Features

• High Hardness: Provides excellent wear resistance, making it ideal for various hard-wearing coatings.
• Oxidation Resistance: Exhibits strong resistance to oxidation at high temperatures, suitable for high-temperature environments.
• Excellent Stability: Stable at room temperature and pressure, maintaining good performance in vacuum or nitrogen environments.
• Superior Coating Performance: CrN coatings have high hardness and excellent wear resistance. After vacuum annealing, the hardness can be further enhanced.

Applications

• Thin Film Coatings: Chromium nitride is commonly used in thin film coatings for tools, molds, and other surfaces to enhance wear resistance.
• Wear-Resistant Coatings: Ideal for wear-resistant coatings on industrial materials, especially in high-temperature and high-load conditions.
• Other Applications: Chromium nitride is also used in special high-temperature or high-pressure environments, providing corrosion and oxidation resistance in applications within electronics, machinery, and more.
