MoWC2 is a molybdenum tungsten carbide composite that combines refractory metal and ceramic carbide phases, creating a hard, wear-resistant material suited to extreme conditions. It is primarily investigated for applications requiring high-temperature strength and erosion resistance, including cutting tools, wear components, and thermal protection systems where conventional cemented carbides or high-speed steels become inadequate. The molybdenum-tungsten-carbide system offers potential advantages in toughness and thermal shock resistance compared to single-carbide alternatives, making it of interest in both industrial tooling and research contexts.
