Nb₂CN is a transition metal carbonitride compound combining niobium with carbon and nitrogen, belonging to the family of refractory metal carbides and nitrides. This material is primarily investigated in research contexts for extreme-temperature applications and wear-resistant coatings, where its high hardness and chemical stability offer advantages over conventional carbides in environments demanding both thermal shock resistance and oxidation protection.
