Hafnium carbonide (HfC), a grayish, black powder, has a face-centered cubic shape. It has a high melting value (3890), and is therefore a good material to use for the lining of high melting crucibles.
Hafnium carbonide is highly elastic, has good electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity, and can also be used as a cermet material.

What is Hafnium Carbide HfC used for?
Hafnium carbonide is a ceramic material that has high temperature resistance and resistance to oxidation. It also has the advantages of good thermal expansion and electrothermal conductivity. Hafnium carbid is used for the manufacture of rocket nozzles and wing fronts.

Hafnium carbide is hard, can be used to add cemented carbide, and can form solid solutions with many compounds (such ZrC or TaC). It has been used extensively in the production of cutting tools and moulds.

Hafnium carbid has a high elastic coefficient, low thermal expansion coefficient, good electrothermal conductivity, and a small thermal conductivity. These properties make it suitable for rocket nozzle materials. It can also be used to make nozzles, high temperature linings, and arc or electrolysis electrons.

Hafnium carbid has excellent solid phase stability and chemical resistance. This makes it ideal for high temperature environments. The field emission performance can also be improved by vaporizing HfC film on carbon nanotube catathode.

You can improve the hafnium-carbidide’s ablation resistance by adding hafnium to Chand C. Hafnium carbonide is widely used in high-temperature materials due to its excellent chemical and physical properties.

How hard is Hafnium-Carbide HfC?
Hafnium carbonide has a high hardness (>9 Mohs). HfC can only be used in limited circumstances due to the technical complexity of the synthesis and the high cost of production.

What is Hafnium, and How is it Used?
Hafnium can be described as a shiny, silver-gray transitional metal. It was first discovered in 1923. Hafnium is rarely dissociated in nature but can be found in most zirconium mineral at concentrations up to 5%. Actually, hafnium and zirconium are very similar in chemistry so it is difficult to separate them. Most hafnium that is commercially available comes as a result of zirconium reprocessing.
Hafnium is earth’s 45th most abundant element. It accounts for about 3.3 parts in million (ppm), of earth’s crust. Hafnium can resist corrosion due to the formation an oxide film on its exposed surface. It is indestructible to water, air, bases, acids, except hydrogen fluoride, and it does not react with oxygen.

Hafnium’s remarkable corrosion resistance and high neutron absorbency make it an ideal material for nuclear submarines and control rods for nuclear reactors. This is key technology in maintaining the fission process. The control rod prevents the fission chain reaction from accelerating out of control and keeps it active.
Hafnium is used to make electronic equipment like capacitors and cathodes. It also makes ceramics, photographic flash, and bulb filaments. It can be used to bind to vacuum tubes and remove trace gases. Hafnium is often alloyed to other metals like iron, titanium and niobium. Examples include aerospace applications like space rocket engines, which use heat-resistant hafnium and niobium alloys.
