T1 - Potentials of niobium carbide (NBC) as cutting tools and for wear protection T2 - Ceramic Engineering and Science Proceedings (CESP) N2 - Niobium is today largely available. NbC displayed lower dry sliding friction over WC grades. The softer Ni- and NiMo-bonded NbC1.0-grades have a higer abrasive wear resistance (ASTM G65), even with lower toughnesses, than the tougher WC-Co grades and harder NbC-Co grades.
