T1 - Potentials of niobium carbide (NbC) as cutting tools and for wear protection T2 - International Conference on Refractory Metals and Hard Materials N2 - The tool lifes of uncoated NiMo and NiMo2C-bonded stoichiometric NbC1.0 grades under dry turning 42CrMo4 and C45E were between +30 % to + 100 % higher and up compared to WC-6Co (fine grain). Niobium is today largely available. NbC grades displayed lower dry sliding friction over WC grades. T2 - 19.
