용도
Hafnium carbide (HfC) with a melting point over 3890°C is a refractory binary compound. HfC and NbC can also be used as refractory coatings in nuclear reactors. The mixed carbide Ta4HfC5 possesses the highest melting point of any currently known compound at 4215°C.
생산 방법
Hafnium carbide is a dark gray, brittle solid. It can be
prepared by heating a mixture of the elements or by reacting
hafnium tetrachloride with methane at 2100 C. Sufficient
quantities of hafnium oxide or hafnium metal sponge are
obtained during the large-scale production of pure zirconium
for nuclear reactors. On an industrial scale, hafnium carbide
can be produced from the hydrided hafnium sponge at
1500–1700 ℃ or from hafnium oxide at 2000–2200 ℃ by
carburization in vacuo in the presence of hydrogen.
The resulting carbide contains almost the theoretical quantity
of carbon (6.30% °C) and a maximum of 0.1% free carbon
(219). The hafnium carbide obtained is not a true
stoichiometric compound as much as a solution of carbon
at specific interstitial sites of a face-centered cubic hafnium
lattice. Hafnium carbide is inert to most reagents at room temperature
but is dissolved by hydrofluoric acid solutions.
Hafnium carbide reacts exothermally with halogens at
250–500 ℃to form hafnium tetrahalide, and to form hafnium
oxide with oxygen above 500℃. In the presence of hydrogen,
hafnium carbide slowly loses some of its carbon at higher
temperatures.
