· JVASP-36012· TcN

Titanium carbonitride (TcN) is a ceramic compound combining titanium, carbon, and nitrogen, belonging to the family of transition metal carbonitrides. It is a hard, refractory material valued for cutting tool coatings and wear-resistant surface treatments, where it offers superior hardness and thermal stability compared to titanium nitride (TiN) alone. Its nitrogen and carbon chemistry enables excellent adhesion to steel substrates and resistance to mechanical and thermal shock in high-speed machining and metal-forming applications.

Regulatory Screening

Environmental

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
