· JVASP-117244· VNi2N3

VNi₂N₃ is a vanadium-nickel nitride intermetallic compound belonging to the family of transition metal nitrides, which are ceramics and cermets valued for extreme hardness and thermal stability. This material is primarily investigated in research contexts for hard coatings, wear-resistant applications, and high-temperature structural components where conventional alloys reach their performance limits. Compared to traditional tool steels or carbides, nitride-based compounds like VNi₂N₃ offer potential advantages in hardness retention at elevated temperatures and chemical inertness, though industrial adoption remains limited pending cost optimization and manufacturing scalability.

Export Control

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.
