Abstrakt: An analysis is made of several thermodynamic methods of calculation of surface energy and of bond models for cubic monocarbides of transition metals. The specific surface energies of the carbides were calculated taking into account some characteristic features of atomic interactions in these compounds. In addition, the energies of rupture of the carbides are given, together with their estimated theoretical strengths. The variation of these properties with temperature is examined. Calculated results are compared with literature data.
