Zirconium carbide has potential in ultra-high temperature applications such as for coatings on hypersonic vehicles or as an inert matrix fuel in the nuclear industry. ZrC has better properties than other carbides such as a higher thermal conductivity and [Read More]

  Diborides and carbides of zirconium, hafnium, and tantalum (ZrB2, ZrC, HfB2, HfC, TaC, etc., melting points well above 3200 K), are referred as ultra-high-temperature-ceramics (UHTCs) and are considered the best-emerging materials for applications in aerospace and advanced energy [Read More]

Hafnium carbide (HfC) has been intensively investigated in recent years for its great potential in ultra-high temperature appli- cations, due to its high melting point (about 3900 ◦C), phase stability, as well as good thermomechanical and thermochemi- cal [Read More]
