· JVASP-142519· Fe5CoN4

Fe5CoN4 is an iron-cobalt nitride intermetallic compound that combines iron and cobalt with nitrogen in a fixed stoichiometric ratio. This material belongs to the family of transition-metal nitrides, which are investigated for their potential to deliver high hardness, wear resistance, and thermal stability—properties valuable in cutting tools, wear-resistant coatings, and high-temperature applications. While primarily a research and development compound rather than a mainstream industrial product, Fe5CoN4 represents the broader potential of nitride alloys to offer cost-effective alternatives to conventional hard metals by leveraging abundant iron and cobalt with interstitial nitrogen strengthening.

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.
