· JVASP-137625· Fe3Mo3C

Fe3Mo3C is an iron-molybdenum carbide compound belonging to the family of transition metal carbides. This material combines iron and molybdenum with carbon to create a hard, wear-resistant phase that typically appears as a constituent in tool steels, cast irons, or specialized hard-facing alloys rather than as a standalone engineering material. Fe3Mo3C is valued in applications requiring extreme hardness and thermal stability, particularly in cutting tools, wear-resistant coatings, and high-temperature components where conventional steel grades would fail; however, its brittleness and difficulty in processing make it less common than alternative carbide phases (such as WC or VC) in commercial applications, and it is more frequently encountered in research contexts exploring advanced tool materials and composite hardening mechanisms.

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
