· Zr1 C1

Zirconium carbide (ZrC) is a ceramic compound belonging to the refractory carbide family, known for exceptional hardness and thermal stability at extreme temperatures. This material finds critical applications in aerospace and high-temperature industrial processes where conventional metals fail, including thermal protection systems, cutting tools, and nuclear fuel cladding. Engineers select ZrC when operating environments demand resistance to oxidation, thermal shock, and mechanical wear combined with structural integrity above 2000°C, making it particularly valuable in hypersonic vehicle design and refractory component manufacturing.

Export Control

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.
