MoN2

MoN2 is a molybdenum nitride ceramic compound that combines a refractory metal with nitrogen to form an extremely hard, wear-resistant material. It is primarily of research and specialized industrial interest, particularly in cutting tool coatings, wear surfaces, and high-temperature applications where conventional hard coatings would degrade. Engineers select molybdenum nitrides for extreme hardness and thermal stability in environments demanding long tool life and resistance to abrasive wear, though availability and cost typically limit use to high-value applications or emerging production processes.
