Mo3C2
metal· JVASP-99506· Mo3C2
Mo3C2 is a molybdenum carbide ceramic compound belonging to the refractory carbide family, characterized by high hardness and thermal stability at elevated temperatures. It is primarily of research and emerging industrial interest for applications requiring extreme wear resistance and thermal protection, particularly in cutting tool coatings, wear-resistant components, and high-temperature structural applications where it competes with established alternatives like WC (tungsten carbide) and TiC. The material's potential lies in its combination of hardness, chemical stability, and cost advantages in certain formulations, though industrial adoption remains limited compared to more mature carbide systems.
