Zirconium Nitride

Zirconium nitride is used as a sputtering target material to create hard, wear-resistant, and decorative golden-colored thin films on tools and consumer hardware.

Used in thermal spray processes to provide erosion and corrosion resistance for components operating in harsh environments.

Due to its high melting point and chemical stability, ZrN is utilized in high-performance refractory applications and crucibles.

Applied as a diffusion barrier layer in microelectronic fabrication to prevent interaction between metal interconnects and silicon substrates.
