Molybdenum carbide

Chemical compound

Molybdenum carbide is an extremely hard, refractory, ceramic material, commercially used in tool bits for cutting tools.

Quick Facts Identifiers, Properties ...

There are at least three reported phases of molybdenum carbide: γ-MoC, β-Mo2C, and γ'. The γ phase is structurally identical to tungsten carbide.[1]

β-Mo2C has been suggested as a catalyst for carbon dioxide hydrogenation.[2] The γ' phase forms by combining the elements at relatively low temperatures, and transforms to the γ phase at 800 °C.[3]
