What is TiN?
Titanium Nitride (TiN)
Titanium nitride (TiN) nanopowder for material and coating research screening. The Aurexene Materials supplied grade has a 30–50 nm particle-size range.

What It Is Not
- TiN is titanium nitride, not elemental tin; the material slug is historical.
When Not to Use It
- Do not use TiN when the design requires elemental tin, tin oxide, titanium dioxide, or an electrically insulating light-colored filler.
Intrinsic Screening Summary
- Identity screen
- TiN; Particle morphology pending Aurexene Materials grade characterization; TiN has a cubic rock-salt crystal structure in published material studies.
- Intrinsic feature
- Published X-ray diffraction of 30–50 nm TiN nanopowder assigned the reflections to the face-centered-cubic TiN phase. Application-specific optical, electrical, and coating performance remains subject to qualification.

Why It Works
| Structure | Function | Mechanism |
|---|---|---|
| TiN titanium nitride nanopowder; cubic rock-salt crystal structure. | The material presents a dark ceramic nanopowder identity for material and coating research screening. | Published X-ray diffraction of 30–50 nm TiN nanopowder assigned the reflections to the face-centered-cubic TiN phase. Application-specific optical, electrical, and coating performance remains subject to qualification. |
