MoWC2
metal· JVASP-103447· MoWC2
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.

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.
