Some examples of nitrides include boron nitride, calcium nitride, aluminum nitride, and cyanogen. Although some nitrides are unstable, others, especially nitrides of silicon, titanium, and tantalum, are very refractory and hard and thus are useful as abrasives and in making crucibles. nitride a compound of nitrogen with a more electropositive element, for example magnesium nitride, Mg3N2 PLEASE CHECK FORMULA nitride [′nī‚trīd] (inorganic chemistry) Compound of nitrogen and a metal, such as Mg3N2.

| 5) -- 530 Glass 6 560 Feldspar (aluminum silicates) Nitrided steels (6 to 7)- Ti[O. The company replaced the usual silicon dioxide in the transistor gate dielectric with nitrided hafnium silicate (HfSiON), a high dielectric constant (high-k) material, and confirmed its performance. For extremely hard nitrided materials, the A scale is used (Brale penetrator and 60 kg of major load). |
