Fe2NiC is an iron-nickel carbide intermetallic compound that combines the strength and hardness of carbide phases with the toughness contribution of nickel-enriched iron matrices. This material belongs to the family of iron-based hard phases and represents a research-stage composition rather than a widely commercialized alloy; it is typically encountered as a strengthening phase within tool steels, wear-resistant cast irons, or specialized cemented carbide systems where carbide precipitation is controlled to balance hardness and impact resistance.
