Iron Nitride (FeNx) is a high-performance inorganic compound known for its exceptional magnetic properties, excellent hardness, and superior thermal stability. This compound is primarily used in specialized applications such as magnetic materials, advanced ceramics, and catalysts, where it serves in critical components exposed to demanding environments. Its unique chemical composition and properties make it suitable for applications requiring reliability and high performance.
Product Overview
Iron nitride is a compound composed of iron and nitrogen, existing in various structural forms, including Fe₂N, Fe₃N, Fe₄N, Fe₇N₃, and Fe₁₆N₂. It decomposes easily at low temperatures (below 400°C) and is insoluble in water, but reacts with water to release ammonia gas. Under ultra-high pressure conditions (GPa), iron nitride can transform into different forms such as FeN, FeN₂, and FeN₄. Iron nitride plays a vital role in many applications, particularly in high-magnetic materials and nanotechnology.
