Chromium Nitride (CrN) Chromium Nitride is a specialty coating that has the ability to endure conditions under high loads, and its low residual stress enables it to have the greatest adhesion and ductility of all PVD coatings. These properties provide CrN with a niche in forming and drawing applications where optimum release is essential. Also, CrN can be beneficial on wear components, due to its excellent surface adhesion which creates a tough resistance against corrosion and heat. Recommended applications are Injection Molding, Carbon Steels, Aluminum, Aluminized or Zinc Coated Steels, Brass, Copper and 300 Series Stainless Steels.
