What is black T/N?

[orlandopens]

Pardon my ignorance, but a customer asked me a question that stumped me. Many of the vendors advertise their pen kits to be made of some combination of metals including "T/N". For some reason I assumed this to be titanium until i remembered that the symbol for titanium is Ti.

An internet search for the definition of T/N yielded nothing. I'm in a quandry, just what the h is T/N?

As far as I've researched about "black titanium coating" in the commercial coating web sites, it seams to me that it is TiAlN coating actually - Titanium Aluminium Nitride.
Titanium Nitride has gold color to it, so Aluminium addition is necessicty to make it black. And it is even a bit stronger than pure TiN coating.

I thought the titanium sank in 1912...
