Zirconium nitride, ZrN, is a nitride of zirconium.
Zirconium Nitride comes in various forms. It is hard ceramic material similar to Titanium Nitride and is a cement like refractory material. When applied using the PVD coating process it is commonly used for coating medical devices, industrial parts, automotive and aerospace components and other parts subject to high wear and corrosive environments.[1] It is also used in refractories, cermets and laboratory crucibles.
ZrN superconducts below 10K.
