chromiumnitrogen
Chromiumnitrogen is not a standard IUPAC name; it usually refers to chromium nitride (CrN), a binary ceramic compound of chromium and nitrogen. CrN exists in stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric forms and is valued as a wear-resistant coating material.
CrN crystallizes in a cubic rock-salt structure; this arrangement underpins its high hardness for a ceramic
CrN can be formed by direct nitridation of chromium or chromium alloys, or by deposition methods used
Applications include protective coatings on cutting tools, dies, molds, and wear-prone components; CrN is often used
Safety: CrN powders or dust should be handled with standard industrial hygiene practices; avoid inhalation and
