Chromium Nitride (CrN) Sputtering Targets

Nitride is a binary compound formed by nitrogen and an element with less electronegativity than it.
Chromium nitride actively forms by combining chromium and nitrogen around 800°C. It exhibits high hardness and corrosion resistance. Specifically, these traits produce an excellent material for enhancing mechanical component wear and corrosion resistance.
Moreover, bombardment of a chromium nitride sputter target with heavy ions yields coatings. These coatings can improve mechanical part performance. Additionally, chromium nitride coatings provide attractive colors, commonly used for decoration.
One key feature of chromium nitride involves stability at high temperatures. Specifically, it withstands oxidation and thermal expansion in hot environments. Furthermore, chromium nitride maintains function and structure integrity in heat. As a result, applications like high-temperature coatings and heat-resistant parts show potential. In summary, the compound’s qualities benefit mechanics, optics, and high-temperature use through specialized sputtering deposition.
