· Nb2 C1

Nb₂C₁ is a niobium carbide ceramic compound belonging to the refractory carbide family, known for exceptional hardness and thermal stability at elevated temperatures. This material is primarily investigated in research and advanced manufacturing contexts for applications requiring wear resistance and thermal durability, particularly in cutting tools, wear-resistant coatings, and high-temperature structural components where traditional carbides may be insufficient. Niobium carbides offer advantages over tungsten carbides in specific high-temperature environments and are of interest for next-generation composite reinforcement phases, though industrial adoption remains limited compared to more established ceramic carbides.

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.
