Very few measurements of melting point in tantalum hafnium carbide have been reported, because of the obvious experimental difficulties at extreme temperatures. A 1965 study of the TaC-HfC solid solutions at temperatures 2,225–2,275 °C found a minimum in the vaporization rate and thus maximum in the thermal stability for Ta 4 HfC 5 .
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.

Hafnium carbide is the most refractory binary compound known, with a melting point over 3,890 °C, and hafnium nitride is the most refractory of all known metal nitrides, with a melting point of 3,310 °C. [1] This has led to proposals that hafnium or its carbides might be useful as construction materials that are subjected to very high ...

The melting points of tantalum carbides was previously estimated to be about 3,880 °C (4,150 K; 7,020 °F) depending on the purity and measurement conditions; this value is among the highest for binary compounds. [6] [7] And only tantalum hafnium carbide was estimated to have a higher melting point of 3,942 °C (4,215 K; 7,128 °F). [8]
Hafnium carbide is the most refractory binary compound known, with a melting point over 3,890 °C (4,163 K; 7,034 °F), and hafnium nitride is the most refractory of all known metal nitrides, with a melting point of 3,310 °C (3,583 K; 5,990 °F). [33]
