The energetic, mechanical and electronic properties as a function of composition for Rex W1–x C alloys in the WC structure have been investigated. It has been demonstrated that the shear modulus of WC can be enhanced by alloying with a small amount of Re, to a maximum shear modulus of 311 GPa at x = 0.23. The designed alloy is energetically stable and could be expected to be a potential extremely hard transition‐metal monocarbide, which is attributed to the strong metal–metalloid interaction with modulated valence electron concentration with respect to WC.
