Ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTCs) are a class of materials that can withstand extremely high temperatures, typically above 2000°C (3632°F), without melting or significantly degrading. These materials are characterized by their high melting points, thermal stability, and mechanical strength at elevated temperatures, making them ideal for applications in harsh environments. UHTCs are primarily composed of refractory compounds such as carbides, nitrides, and borides of materials like zirconium, hafnium, and tungsten.
