Hallo,
"Tantalum carbide (TaC) is characterized by high hardness (9–10, Mohs' hardness at 25 °C)"
Zitat aus: H Xiang, Y Xu, L Zhang, L Cheng - (2006) Synthesis and microstructure of tantalum carbide and carbon composite by liquid precursor route, Scripta materialia, Volume 55, Issue 4, August 2006, Pages 339–342
Sollte eine belastbare Quelle sein.
