ceramic

· JVASP-20521· Th2N3

Th2N3 is a thorium nitride ceramic compound that belongs to the refractory ceramic family, characterized by its high melting point and rigid crystal structure. This material is primarily investigated in nuclear fuel and advanced refractory applications where extreme thermal stability and resistance to chemical attack are required. Thorium nitrides are notable in nuclear engineering contexts as potential accident-tolerant fuel alternatives and in high-temperature structural applications, though commercial use remains limited compared to more established uranium-based nuclear ceramics and conventional refractory materials like yttria and magnesia.
