Our most biocompatible of the ceramic hard nitrides, zirconium nitride is tougher, harder, and more corrosion resistant than titanium nitride. It is used extensively in cutting applications where other coatings have failed. ZrN has a light gold appearance, is abrasion resistance, and improves performance over uncoated carbide in a wide variety of non-ferrous materials. ZrN is a less expensive alternative to diamond.
