“…Hence, ceramics in groups IV and V such as HfC, VC, NbC, TiC, and TaC are the contesting materials as they posses high melting point (close to 4000°C), high oxidation resistance, excellent thermal shock resistance, low coefficient of thermal expansion, low vapor pressure at elevated temperatures, and good creep and fatigue properties 1,2 . Therefore, TaC stands as a candidate material for next generation thermal heat protection, space aircrafts, automotive wear resistant liners, and propulsion‐exposed components, etc 2–4 …”
