Tantalum hafnium carbide is a refractory chemical compound with a general formula TaxHfyCx+y, which can be considered as a solid solution of tantalum carbide and hafnium carbide. It was originally thought to have the highest melting of any known substance but new research has proven that hafnium carbonitride has a higher melting point.
