ZrC is one of the potential materials for high temperature applications in hypersonic vehicles and weapons points like re-entry vehicle, rocket/Scram jet engine or supersonic vehicle.

The addition of zirconium silicide can increase the wear resistance and high temperature resistance of the material, carbon ceramic brake pads, and brake discs. The mass fraction of zirconium disilicide is 10-15%. Adding this mass fraction of zirconium disilicide into the ceramic matrix composite material can significantly reduce the sintering temperature of the material preparation.

Carbide ultra-high temperature ceramics mainly include zirconium carbide (ZrC), tantalum carbide (TaC) and hafnium carbide (HfC),

Zirconium carbide is used as a catalyst in a REDOX cell for the oxidation of chromous ions to chromic ions and for the reduction of chromic ions to chromous ions. The zirconium carbide is coated on an inert electronically conductive electrode which is present in the anode fluid of the cell.

Carbon composite refractories are widely used in the steel industry due to their excellent slag resistance and thermal shock resistance due to the introduction of carbon. However, the biggest problem of carbon composite refractories is that carbon is easily oxidized, resulting in loose structure and deteriorated material properties. In order to improve the oxidation resistance of carbon composite refractories, it is usually necessary to add some antioxidants. As an antioxidant for carbon composite refractories, borides can not only improve the oxidation resistance of the material and reduce carbon loss by forming a surface protective layer, but also improve the corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of the material. Therefore, the application of borides in carbon composite refractories has received extensive attention from scholars.
