Tantalum hafnium carbide is a refractory chemical compound with a general formula TaxHfyCx+y, which can be considered as a solid solution of tantalum carbide and hafnium carbide. It was originally thought to have the highest melting point of any known substance, but new research has proven that hafnium carbonitride has a higher melting point.
