Vanadium carbide

Vanadium carbide is the inorganic compound with the formula VC.

[3] Being isomorphous with vanadium monoxide, it crystallizes in the rock salt structure.

[3] It is produced by heating vanadium oxides with carbon at around 1000 °C.

Although VC is thermodynamically stable, it converts to V2C at higher temperatures.

Vanadium Carbide has an elastic modulus of approximately 380 GPa.
