    The Gmelin rare earths handbook lists 1522 °C and 1550 °C as two melting points given in the ... Section 3; Table 3.2 Physical Constants of Inorganic Compounds;

  3. Tungsten - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tungsten

    Of all metals in pure form, tungsten has the highest melting point (3,422 °C, 6,192 °F), lowest vapor pressure (at temperatures above 1,650 °C, 3,000 °F), and the highest tensile strength. [26] Although carbon remains solid at higher temperatures than tungsten, carbon sublimes at atmospheric pressure instead of melting, so it has no melting ...

  4. Melting point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melting_point

    Many cage-like compounds like adamantane and cubane with high symmetry have relatively high melting points. A high melting point results from a high heat of fusion, a low entropy of fusion, or a combination of both. In highly symmetrical molecules the crystal phase is densely packed with many efficient intermolecular interactions resulting in a ...

  5. Rhenium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhenium

    It has one of the highest melting and boiling points of any element. It resembles manganese and technetium chemically and is mainly obtained as a by-product of the extraction and refinement of molybdenum and copper ores. It shows in its compounds a wide variety of oxidation states ranging from −1 to +7.

  6. Tantalum hafnium carbide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tantalum_hafnium_carbide

    Tantalum hafnium carbide is a refractory chemical compound with a general formula Ta x Hf y C x+y, which can be considered as a solid solution of tantalum carbide and hafnium carbide. It was originally thought to have the highest melting of any known substance but new research has proven that hafnium carbonitride has a higher melting point.

  7. Refractory metals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractory_metals

    Refractory metals have high melting points, with tungsten and rhenium the highest of all elements, and the other's melting points only exceeded by osmium and iridium, and the sublimation of carbon. These high melting points define most of their applications. All the metals are body-centered cubic except rhenium which is hexagonal close-packed.

  8. Hafnium carbide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hafnium_carbide

    Hafnium carbide (Hf C) is a chemical compound of hafnium and carbon.Previously the material was estimated to have a melting point of about 3,900 °C. [2] More recent tests have been able to conclusively prove that the substance has an even higher melting point of 3,958 °C exceeding those of tantalum carbide and tantalum hafnium carbide which were both previously estimated to be higher. [3]

  9. Hafnium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hafnium

    This has led to proposals that hafnium or its carbides might be useful as construction materials that are subjected to very high temperatures. The mixed carbide tantalum hafnium carbide (Ta 4 HfC 5) possesses the highest melting point of any currently known compound, 4,263 K (3,990 °C; 7,214 °F). [35]
