Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

We have studied the structure and microstructure of ZrN prepared by high-temperature nitridation of zirconium foil and estimated its hardness. The results demonstrate the feasibility of producing a composite heterostructure with the composition ZrN-(α-solid solution of nitrogen in zirconium/ZrN)-ZrN in the conditions of the process under consideration by heating to a temperature above the peritectic reaction temperature.
