Zirconium Carbide is extensively used in high-temperature applications such as rocket nozzle linings and thermal barrier coatings due to its extreme heat resistance. Its hardness and wear properties make it a preferred material for cutting tools and abrasion-resistant components. In nuclear reactors, ZrC serves as a fuel cladding material owing to its neutron transparency and corrosion resistance. Researchers also leverage its conductive properties for electrodes and semiconductor applications. Nanopowder forms are employed in additive manufacturing and advanced composites for enhanced performance.
