Iron nitride (FeN) is an interstitial compound formed by nitrogen dissolution or reaction with iron, belonging to the family of metallic nitrides known for high hardness and wear resistance. This material is of primary interest in surface engineering and materials research, where it is studied for wear-resistant coatings, hardened steel surfaces, and specialty alloy development. FeN compounds are notably used in nitriding processes for steel components and investigated for high-strength, lightweight structural applications where hardness and corrosion resistance are critical.
