HoWC2 is a refractory metal carbide compound combining holmium and tungsten carbide, belonging to the family of rare-earth transition metal carbides. This material is primarily of research and development interest for high-temperature applications where extreme hardness and chemical stability are required, though it remains largely experimental compared to conventional tungsten carbide or cobalt-cemented carbide tools.
