· JVASP-134799· AlCN

AlCN is an aluminum carbonitride ceramic compound that combines aluminum with carbon and nitrogen, typically produced through physical vapor deposition or other synthesis routes. It is primarily investigated as a hard coating material and structural ceramic, particularly valued in cutting tool applications, wear-resistant surfaces, and high-temperature protective coatings where superior hardness and thermal stability are required. AlCN offers potential advantages over traditional aluminum nitride (AlN) or aluminum carbide (Al₄C₃) by combining the properties of both phases, making it a candidate for next-generation machining tools, anti-wear coatings on industrial equipment, and thermal barrier applications—though it remains less established in production than conventional alternatives.

Export Control

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
