· JVASP-8379· CaCr2N2

CaCr₂N₂ is a ceramic nitride compound combining calcium and chromium in a stoichiometric ratio, belonging to the family of transition metal nitrides known for high hardness and thermal stability. This material is primarily of research and emerging industrial interest for wear-resistant coatings and high-temperature structural applications where superior hardness and chemical inertness are critical. Engineers consider nitride ceramics like CaCr₂N₂ as alternatives to traditional carbides and oxides in extreme environments, particularly where both mechanical wear resistance and thermal cycling resistance are required.

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.
