Scope: niobium carbide is extremely difficult refractory ceramic material with good stability to chemical reagents and high fusion 3880 °C, and often additive in a firm alloy. Niobium carbide is commercially used in bits for cutting tools. It is also can be used as fire-resistant coverings in nuclear reactors.
