 ይህ በቀላሉ alloys ውስጥ ጠንካራ, የተረጋጋ carbides ቅጾችን, እና በዚህ ምክንያት ለ ኤለመንት (80%) ስለ ዓለም ምርት አብዛኞቹ ከፍተኛ ጥንካሬ alloys እና superalloys ጨምሮ, ብረት alloys ላይ ውሏል.
It readily forms hard, stable carbides in alloys, and for this reason most of world production of the element (about 80%) is used in steel alloys, including high-strength alloys and superalloys.
