About 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 12.0mO*cm, the temperature coefficient of resistivity is 5.6*10-8O*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 not only have excellent chemical properties but also can be used not only in diffusion stacks, low-temperature instruments, etc., but also in 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 value.

How is Zirconium Nitride ZrN Powder produced?

Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) :

It is a common method for preparing zirconium nitride powder. In this method, compounds or elements of zirconium and nitrogen, respectively, act as precursors and react with nitrogen at high temperatures to produce zirconium nitride powder. During the reaction, the precursor releases volatile materials after pyrolysis, leaving behind zirconium nitride powder. The zirconium nitride powder prepared by the CVD method has high purity, fine particle size, and uniform distribution. It is an ideal raw material for preparing high-performance ceramics and composite materials. However, the CVD method for the preparation of zirconium nitride powder is costly and requires complex equipment operation, which is not suitable for large-scale production.

High-temperature self-propagating synthesis (SHS) :

High-temperature self-propagating synthesis is an effective method to prepare zirconium nitride powder. This method utilizes the chemical reaction between the precursors to rapidly synthesize zirconium nitride powders at high temperatures. The precursor can be a compound or elemental of zirconium and nitrogen, which is heated to trigger a chemical reaction to produce zirconium nitride powder. The zirconium nitride powder prepared by the SHS method has the advantages of a short production cycle, low cost, and high purity and is suitable for large-scale production. However, the zirconium nitride powder prepared by this method has a large particle size and uneven distribution and needs to be post-treated to meet the application requirements.

Mechanical alloying (MA) :

Mechanical alloying is a physical method for preparing zirconium nitride powder. The compound or elemental of zirconium and nitrogen is put into the ball mill together with the ball mill medium. The precursor is broken and mixed through the rotation and impact force of the ball mill, and finally, zirconium nitride powder is generated. The zirconium nitride powder prepared by the MA method has the advantages of high purity and uniform distribution, which is suitable for the preparation of high-performance ceramics and composite materials. However, the preparation process of this method is long and requires a large amount of energy and equipment investment.

Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition (PCVD) :

Plasma chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is an advanced method for preparing zirconium nitride powder. In this method, the compounds or elements of zirconium and nitrogen are decomposed into atomic or ionic states by plasma jet, and zirconium nitride powder is deposited on the substrate. The zirconium nitride powder prepared by the PCVD method has the advantages of high purity and uniform distribution, which is suitable for the preparation of high-performance ceramics and composite materials. In addition, the PCVD method can also deposit zirconium nitride powder on the matrix of complex shapes, which has high industrial application value. However, the equipment investment of this method is large, and complex equipment operation and maintenance are required.
