What are the differences between CrN and Cr2N?

The European Commission has submitted to member states a new draft of sanctions against Russia, including an oil embargo. Some member states that rely heavily on Russian energy sought exemptions.  

Western media reported that the European Commission draft of the sixth round of sanctions against Russia includes within six to eight months gradually banning oil imports from Russia, but allowing Hungary and Slovakia to extend the transition period for several months; The Russian Savings bank and other large financial institutions on the sanctions list.  

The European Union has imported 44 billion euros of fossil fuels from Russia since Russia launched its special military operation against Ukraine in late February, according to Finland's Energy and Clean Air Research Center.  

The Institute for European and Global Economics in Brussels estimates that the European Union currently consumes about $450 million worth of Russian oil a day.  

Among EU members, landlocked Hungary and Slovakia, which import most of their oil from Russia, cannot quickly find alternative supplies.  Slovakia says the transition will take years.  Some officials believe Bulgaria and the Czech Republic may also seek to opt out of oil sanctions against Russia.

Affected by the ever-changing international situation, the supply and prices of international bulk chromium nitride are still very uncertain.

What is chromium nitride?
Metal chromium and nitrogen can form metal chromium nitride with different nitrogen content under different conditions. the common nitrides of metal chromium are CrN and Cr2N, which is called chromium nitride. CrN and Cr2N are important metallurgical second phases of heat-resistant alloys, especially for special steels, they can be used as reinforcement additives.
 
What are the differences between CrN and Cr2N?
CrN and Cr2N have different physical, chemical and mechanical properties.
For Cr2N structure, the metal Cr has a closely packed hexagonal structure, and the non-metallic N atoms fill in the interstitial position of the closely packed hexagonal structure; in terms of the CrN structure, the metal Cr is arranged as a face-centered cubic lattice, and N atoms are filled in the octahedral gap of the face-centered cubic lattice to form a simple NaCl structure.
It is generally believed that the comprehensive performance of CrN is higher than that of Cr2N. For example, the acid and alkali corrosion resistance of CrN is obviously higher than that of Cr2N.
 
What is chromium nitride used for?
CrN is used as an anticorrosive coating material for metal forming and plastic forming applications.
CrN is commonly used in medical implants and tools.
CrN is also a valuable ingredient in advanced multi-component coating systems, such as CrAlN, for hard wear-resistant applications on cutting tools.
 
What is chromium nitride coating?
Chromium nitride is an extremely hard and inert film coating, which is mainly used in precision metal parts. Chromium nitride (CrN) has higher temperature resistance than TiN, so it is an ideal choice in high temperature environment. CrN also performs well in corrosive environments and sliding wear applications.
 
Chromium nitride coating properties:
The residual compressive stress is lower than that of TiN. Can be piled up thicker.
It is a dense, continuous coating, unlike hard chromium with microcracks.
Can withstand high temperatures of up to 700°C (1300°F) in the air.
Thin film coatings for environmentally safe physical vapor deposition (PVD) vacuum systems.
It can be used in most metals to provide enhanced surface properties, as well as in some ceramics and plastics.
It has the appearance of metallic silver, but it is a superhard material.
Harder than hard chromium plating, up to Rockwell C grade.
Highly inert, non-corrosive, excellent chemical resistance.
Non-toxic-used in medical and surgical equipment and food processing equipment.
High density, no holes.
Usually 3 microns or. 0001 “thick.
Has a thickness consistent with the surface profile of the part.
Form a good bond with the substrate without blistering, peeling or detritus

A preparation developed in China; the comfort and the multifunctional properties of nanomaterials make “dead skin” capable of sensing again. Electronic skin is artificial skin that mimics the function of human skin. Recently, the world-renowned journal Advanced Science reported a simple and highly programmable electronic skin on a leather substrate developed by a Chinese team, which combines the natural complex structure of leather, the comfort of wearing, and the multi-functional properties of nanomaterials. , so that the “dead skin” has the ability to sense again.

In the future, chromium nitride will be used in various high-tech fields, and the market demand for chromium nitride will also be great. Please contact us for more information on chromium nitride.
