Fe2N
metal· Fe2N
Fe₂N is an iron nitride intermetallic compound formed through controlled nitriding of iron, belonging to the family of transition metal nitrides. It is primarily encountered in surface engineering and materials research rather than as a bulk engineering material, where it forms as a hard, wear-resistant phase during nitriding heat treatment of steel components. Engineers value iron nitrides for their exceptional hardness and corrosion resistance, making them relevant in applications requiring enhanced surface durability without bulk material replacement.

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.
