Boron carbide imakhala ndi kukana kwa dzimbiri komanso kutentha kwambiri kwa okosijeni.Sichimachita ndi zidulo, alkalis ndi mankhwala ambiri osakanikirana ndi kutentha.Pali dzimbiri pang'onopang'ono mu sulfuric acid, hydrofluoric acid-nitric acid zosakaniza.Makutidwe ndi okosijeni kwenikweni sachitika pansi pa 600 ° C, ndipo kutentha kukakhala pamwamba pa 600 ° C, filimu ya B2O3 imapangidwa chifukwa cha okosijeni pamtunda, kulepheretsa kuwonjezereka kwa okosijeni.

Boron carbide ikhoza kuwonjezeredwa ku carbonaceous refractory ngati antioxidant, yomwe sikuti imangowonjezera kukana kwamafuta amtundu wa refractory, komanso imateteza kukana kulowetsedwa kwachitsulo ndi slag, ndikuletsa mpweya mu carbonaceous refractory kukhala oxidized.Chifukwa chomwe chingathe kuchita nawo ntchitoyi ndikuti pamene boron carbide ndi oxidized, idzalumikizana ndi zinthu zoyambira kupanga gawo lamadzi kapena mpweya, potero kulepheretsa mpweya mu carbonaceous refractory kuti usawonongeke ndikutalikitsa moyo wautumiki wa carbon. -okhala ndi chokana.
