High-Toughness Tantalum Carbide for High-Temperature Applications

Invention SummaryTantalum Carbide (TaC) is an extremely hard refractory ceramic material with high temperature resistance. Researchers at the University of Utah have discovered a form of tantalum carbide called zeta phase with three times more fracture toughness than the more common TaC form. The TaC zeta form offers high strength, high fracture toughness...
