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).

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).
The coefficient of thermal expansion of cemented tungsten carbide is found to vary with the amount of cobalt used as a metal binder. For 5.9% cobalt samples, a coefficient of 4.4 μm/m·K was measured, whereas 13% cobalt samples have a coefficient of around 5.0 μm/m·K.
Ledeburite arises when the carbon content is between 2.06% and 6.67%. The eutectic mixture of austenite and cementite is 4.3% carbon, Fe 3 C:2Fe, with a melting point of 1147 °C. Ledeburite-II (at ambient temperature) is composed of cementite-I with recrystallized secondary cementite (which separates from austenite as the metal cools) and ...

Tantalcarbide is a rare mineral of tantalum carbide with formula TaC. With a molecular weight of 192.96 g/mol, its primary constituents are tantalum (93.78%) and carbon (6.22%), and has an isometric crystal system. [2] It generally exhibits a bronze or brown to yellow color. On the Mohs hardness scale it registers as a 6–7. [3]
Tantalum was extensively used in the production of ultra high frequency electron tubes for radio transmitters. Tantalum is capable of capturing oxygen and nitrogen by forming nitrides and oxides and therefore helped to sustain the high vacuum needed for the tubes when used for internal parts such as grids and plates.
