WScN3 is a ternary metal nitride compound containing tungsten, scandium, and nitrogen, belonging to the refractory ceramic family. This material is primarily investigated in research contexts for potential applications requiring high hardness, thermal stability, and wear resistance, with particular interest in hard coatings and cutting tool applications where traditional transition metal nitrides (like TiN or CrN) are used.
