Applications

Coatings and Surface Protection

Wear-Resistant Coatings: ZrN powder is commonly used to create hard, wear-resistant coatings on cutting tools, machining equipment, and other high-performance components that are subject to abrasive wear. These coatings help to increase the longevity and performance of industrial tools.

Protective Coatings for High-Temperature Components: ZrN coatings are employed on components exposed to extreme temperatures, such as turbine blades, aerospace parts, and other materials in high-temperature environments, to protect against oxidation and wear.

Aerospace and Automotive Industry

High-Temperature Applications: ZrN’s high melting point and thermal stability make it an excellent material for aerospace and automotive applications. It can be used in turbine blades, engine components, and thermal barrier coatings where heat resistance and wear resistance are critical.

Rocket Nozzles and Refractory Materials: Due to its high-temperature resistance, ZrN powder is used in the aerospace industry for manufacturing rocket nozzles, heat shields, and other refractory components that are subjected to extreme thermal and mechanical stresses.

Electronics and Semiconductor Industry

Thin-Film Coatings for Electronics: ZrN is used in the production of thin films for various electronic devices, particularly in applications where a combination of hardness and electrical conductivity is required. For example, ZrN thin films are used in microelectronics for integrated circuits and as coatings in electronic components.

Electrode Materials: ZrN can be employed in the production of electrodes for electronic devices and energy storage applications, such as capacitors and batteries. Its conductivity and stability at high temperatures are key advantages in these uses.

Nuclear and Radiation Shielding

Nuclear Reactor Components: ZrN powder can be used in nuclear reactors as part of the cladding material for nuclear fuel rods or as a component of radiation shielding materials. Zirconium nitride is stable under radiation and high temperatures, which are common conditions in nuclear environments.
