Scientists identify world's most heat resistant materials

A team of UK-based researchers have identified Hafnium carbide (HfC) as the world’s most heat resistant material. It can withstand record melting point temperatures up to 3958°C (approx 4000°C). New Laser-heating techniques were used to find the temperature at which Tantalum carbide (TaC) and HfC melted, both separately and in mixed compositions. Key Facts Hafnium ..
