Chromium Nitride (CrN) Micron Powder, Purity: 99.99%, Size: 1–3 µm

Description

Chromium Nitride (CrN) Micron Powder, Purity: 99.99%, Size: 1–3 µm

Chromium Nitride (CrN) Micron Powder is a high-purity ceramic material widely recognized for its excellent mechanical strength, wear resistance, and thermal stability. With an average particle size of 1–3 µm and a purity of 99.99% (metal basis), CrN powder is ideal for applications in steel strengthening, hard coatings, and powder metallurgy.

CrN is known for its antiferromagnetic properties and stability under harsh operating conditions, making it an important additive in high-performance alloys and as a precursor material for advanced surface engineering. It exhibits strong oxidation resistance and high hardness, which is why it is often used in protective coatings for tools and industrial components.
