FeWN2 is an experimental iron-tungsten nitride compound representing a class of refractory metal nitrides designed to achieve high hardness and thermal stability. This material belongs to the family of transition metal nitrides, which are of research interest for wear-resistant coatings and high-temperature structural applications where conventional steel or nickel-based alloys reach performance limits. The tungsten content provides hardness and elevated-temperature strength, while the nitride bonding creates a ceramic-like phase that resists oxidation and mechanical degradation.
