Strength, texture, and equation of state of hexagonal tungsten monocarbide (WC) have been determined under quasi-hydrostatic and non-hydrostatic compression to 66 GPa using angle-dispersive X-ray diffraction in the diamond anvil cell. Quasi-hydrostatic compression in a Ne pressure medium demonstrates that nanocrystalline WC is slightly less incompressible than bulk-scale WC, with respective bulk moduli of K 0= 377±7 and 397±7 GPa and pressure derivatives K 0’= 3.8±0.3 and 3.7±0.3. This decrease in incompressibility with grain size is similar to behavior observed in other ceramics. Under nonhydrostatic compression, WC supports a mean differential stress of∼ 12-15 GPa at plastic yielding, which occurs at∼ 30 GPa. Strength in WC is anisotropic, with the (001) plane supporting 29-42% higher stress than stresses calculated from mean strain. Simulations using an Elasto-ViscoPlastic Self-Consistent model indicate that strength inferred from lattice strain theory may be overestimated due to effects of plastic deformation. Plastic deformation generates a texture maximum near< 2¯ 110> in the compression orientation, initially through prismatic slip on the {10 1¯ 0}< 1¯ 2 1¯ 0> and {10 1¯ 0}< 0001> slip systems, followed by activation of pyramidal slip on {10 1¯ 1}< 2¯ 113> at∼ 40-50 GPa.
