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.
Tantalum carbide is widely used as sintering additive in ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTCs) or as a ceramic reinforcement in high-entropy alloys (HEAs) due to its excellent physical properties in melting point, hardness, elastic modulus, thermal conductivity, thermal shock resistance, and chemical stability, which makes it a desirable ...
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 of 3890 °C. [8] [9] The ternary compound tantalum hafnium carbide has one of the highest melting points of all known compounds (4215 °C). [10] [11] Molybdenum disilicide has a high melting point of 2030 °C and is often used as a heating element.
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 ...

Hafnium-containing rocket nozzle of the Apollo Lunar Module in the lower right corner. Hafnium is used in alloys with iron, titanium, niobium, tantalum, and other metals. An alloy used for liquid-rocket thruster nozzles, for example the main engine of the Apollo Lunar Modules, is C103 which consists of 89% niobium, 10% hafnium and 1% titanium. [65]
President-elect Trump on Tuesday urged Republicans to be “smart and tough” in the face of potential Democratic efforts to delay the confirmation of his nominees. “We just won a Historic ...
