NiZrO2N

NiZrO₂N is a ceramic composite material combining nickel, zirconium oxide, and nitrogen phases, representing an advanced refractory or hard coating compound. This material family is primarily explored in research contexts for high-temperature structural applications and wear-resistant coatings where thermal stability, hardness, and oxidation resistance are critical. The incorporation of nitrogen into zirconium oxide-based ceramics—stabilized by nickel additions—targets demanding environments such as cutting tools, thermal barrier systems, and industrial wear surfaces where conventional oxides alone may be insufficient.
