Zirconium Nitride ZrN Powder CAS 25658-42-8

What is Zirconium Nitride ZrN Powder:

Zirconium nitride chemical formula is ZrN. Zirconium nitride properties include excellent corrosion resistance, high hardness, good lubricity, and flexibility. These properties also make it an attractive coating. Methods such as physical vapor deposition are used to deposit such coatings. Zirconium nitride coating is a yellow crystalline powder or an attractive light golden. ZrN Zirconium nitride is used in many ways due to its properties.

ZrN grown by physical vapor deposition (PVD) is lightly golden, similar to elemental gold. The room temperature resistivity of ZrN is 12.0μΩ·cm, the temperature coefficient of resistivity is 5.6·10-8Ω·cm/K, the superconducting transition temperature is 10.4K, and the relaxation lattice parameter is 0.4575nm. The hardness of single-crystal ZrN is 22.7±1.7 GPa, and the elastic modulus is 450 GPa.

Zirconium nitride compound has various crystal structures that vary with the composition. For example, in the Zr-N alloy system, the alloy compounds that have been discovered are ZrN, o-Zr₃N₄, and c-Zr₃N₄. They have excellent chemical properties and can be used in diffusion stacks, low-temperature instruments, etc., and three-dimensional integrated electric coils and metal-based transistors. At the same time, these ZrN compounds are superior to pure zirconium in terms of wear resistance, oxidation resistance, and corrosion resistance, and they have a higher superconducting critical temperature, so they can become very good superconductors and have higher application values.

How is Zirconium Nitride ZrN Powder produced?

The synthesis of zirconium nitride powder mainly includes direct nitridation of Zr metal with nitrogen, high-energy reactive ball milling (RBM, microwave plasma method, benzene thermal method, aluminum reduction nitridation, magnesium thermal reduction, carbothermal reduction nitridation ( CRN), etc.

1. Direct nitriding of metallic zirconium and nitrogen at a temperature of 1100~1200°C.

2. Using the zirconium tetrachloride method. The reaction formula follows: using zirconium tetrachloride and ammonia as raw materials to prepare zirconium nitride. 

  3ZrCl4 + 4NH3→Zr3N4 + 12HCl

  2Zr3N4→6ZrN + N2

Zirconium tetrachloride first forms an adduct with ammonia, and then it is heated to 750°C to be converted into zirconium tetranitride (Zr3N4) and further heated to 1200°C to be converted into zirconium nitride (ZrN). In the presence of sulfuric acid, ammonia reacts above 1000°C to produce zirconium nitride.

Applications of Zirconium Nitride ZrN Powder:

Zirconium nitride has high hardness (~15 GPa) 10, high melting point (2980±50°C), good thermal conductivity (45-50 W/mK), low resistivity, good wear resistance, and good corrosion resistance Sex. It has attracted widespread attention and found many applications, such as coatings for thermal barriers and mold settings for material processing, refractories, and diffusion barriers.

According to the low neutron capture cross-section and its good chemical compatibility with act series elements, zirconium nitride is an important material that can be used as the ceramic matrix of inert matrix fuel (IMF) to transform long-life act series Element and used as an advanced fuel.

In addition, zirconium nitride is a substitute for uranium nitride to optimize the process parameters for manufacturing nitride fuels, which are considered to be used in nuclear reactors with advanced accident-resistant fuels and in space power reactors.

Zirconium nitride is a hard ceramic material similar to titanium nitride and is a cement-like refractory material. Therefore, it can be used in refractory materials, cermets, and laboratory crucibles.

When the physical vapor deposition coating process is used for coating, it is usually used to coat medical devices, industrial parts (especially drill bits), automotive and aerospace parts, and other parts prone to high wear and corrosive environments.

When alloying with Al, the electronic structure develops from the local octahedral bond symmetry of cubic ZrN, which deforms as the Al content increases, resulting in more complex bonding and higher hardness.

Zirconium nitride is recommended as a hydrogen peroxide fuel tank lining for rockets and airplanes. 

Other applications of zirconium nitride:

1) Hard metal insert tooling;

2) Hard alloy; 

3) Refractory ceramics conducting material;

4) Heat-resisting wear-resisting material;

5) Dissemination strengthening material.
