About Hafnium Carbide (HfC) Powder

Hafnium Carbide (HfC) is a gray solid with metallic luster. It has the highest melting point among the known single compounds and is a good material for the lining of high melting point metal melting crucible. It has a high melting point, high hardness, good high temperature strength, good corrosion resistance and low thermal conductivity.
