Tantalum carbides (TaC) form a family of binary chemical compounds of tantalum and carbon with the empirical formula TaC x, where x usually varies between 0.4 and 1. They are extremely hard , brittle, refractory ceramic materials with metallic electrical conductivity .
Carbon phase diagram, based on calculations from 1980s. Newer work indicates that the melting point doesn't go above about 9000 K. Source: J.M. Zazula (1997).

TTT diagram of isothermal transformations of a hypoeutectoid carbon steel; showing the main components obtained when cooling the steel and its relation with the Fe-C phase diagram of carbon steels. Austenite is slightly undercooled when quenched below Eutectoid temperature. When given more time, stable microconstituents can form: ferrite and ...
Theoretically predicted phase diagram of carbon. The equilibrium pressure and temperature conditions for a transition between graphite and diamond is well established theoretically and experimentally. The pressure changes linearly between 1.7 GPa at 0 K and 12 GPa at 5000 K (the diamond/graphite/liquid triple point).
It is unclear whether the synthesis products are diamond-like solid solutions between carbon and boron nitride or just mechanical mixtures of highly dispersed diamond and c-BN. In 2001, a diamond-like-structured c-BC 2 N was synthesized at pressures >18 GPa and temperatures >2,200 K by a direct solid-state phase transition of graphite-like (BN ...
Pobedit (Russian: победи́т) is a sintered carbide alloy of about 90% tungsten carbide as a hard phase, and about 10% cobalt (Co) as a binder phase, with a small amount of additional carbon. Developed in the Soviet Union in 1929, it is described as a material from which cutting tools are made.

As another example, diamond is a stable phase only at very high pressures, but is a metastable form of carbon at standard temperature and pressure. It can be converted to graphite (plus leftover kinetic energy), but only after overcoming an activation energy – an intervening hill.
