VNbON2

VNbON2 is an oxynitride ceramic compound combining vanadium, niobium, oxygen, and nitrogen in a single phase—a material class that bridges traditional oxides and nitrides to achieve enhanced mechanical and thermal properties. This is primarily a research and development material investigated for high-temperature structural applications where combined hardness, wear resistance, and thermal stability are critical; it represents the broader family of complex oxynitride ceramics being explored as alternatives to conventional refractory oxides and nitrides for demanding industrial environments.
