Nb2PN

Nb₂PN is an experimental transition metal phosphide nitride compound combining niobium with phosphorus and nitrogen. This material belongs to the family of refractory metal pnictides, which are being investigated for applications requiring high stiffness, thermal stability, and wear resistance in extreme environments. Research into such compounds focuses on potential use in next-generation tooling, structural coatings, and high-temperature applications where traditional alloys reach their performance limits.
