CaZrO2N

CaZrO₂N is an oxynitride ceramic compound combining calcium, zirconium, oxygen, and nitrogen phases, belonging to the family of advanced refractory and high-temperature ceramics. This material is primarily of research and developmental interest for demanding thermal and chemical applications where conventional oxides fall short, particularly in high-temperature structural applications, coatings, and environments requiring both thermal stability and resistance to oxidation or corrosive atmospheres. The incorporation of nitrogen into the zirconia-calcium oxide system offers potential advantages in hardness, thermal conductivity, and chemical inertness compared to purely oxide-based counterparts, making it relevant for next-generation refractory systems and specialty engineering ceramics.
