Iridium nitride (IrN) is a refractory ceramic compound combining the noble metal iridium with nitrogen, belonging to the family of transition metal nitrides. It is primarily of research and developmental interest rather than established in high-volume manufacturing, valued for its exceptional hardness, high-temperature stability, and chemical inertness. IrN shows promise in extreme-environment applications where traditional ceramics or coatings would fail, particularly in aerospace, cutting tools, and protective coatings, though its cost and limited production currently restrict adoption to specialized or experimental systems.
