ZrC is a candidate material for ultrahigh temperature applications because of its high melting point ~3550ºC, solid-state phase stability, and good thermo mechanical and thermo chemical properties. Besides high hardness and high melting temperature ZrC exhibits high emissivity and high current capacity at elevated temperatures.

 

Thus, zirconium carbide is a promising material for use in thermo photo voltaic radiators and field emitter tips and arrays. ZrC also has low neutron cross-section and thus can be used as a nuclear reactor core material.
