I-Boron carbide inokumelana nokugqwala okuhle kakhulu kanye nokumelana nokushisa okuphezulu kwe-oxidation.Ayisabeli nama-acids, ama-alkali kanye nezinhlanganisela eziningi ezingaphili ekamelweni lokushisa.Kukhona ukugqwala okuhamba kancane kuphela ku-sulfuric acid, izingxube ze-hydrofluoric acid-nitric acid.Ukusabela kwe-oxidation ngokuyisisekelo akwenzeki ngaphansi kuka-600 °C, futhi lapho izinga lokushisa lingaphezu kuka-600 °C, kwakheka ifilimu ye-B2O3 ngenxa ye-oxidation yangaphezulu, evimbela ukukhuphuka kwe-oxidation.

I-Boron carbide ingafakwa ku-carbonaceous refractory njenge-antioxidant, engagcini nje ngokuthuthukisa ukumelana nokushaqeka okushisayo kwe-refractory, kodwa futhi ivikela i-refractory ekungeneni kwensimbi ne-slag, futhi ivimbele i-carbon e-carbonaceous refractory ekubeni i-oxidized.Isizathu sokuthi kungani ingadlala le ndima ukuthi lapho i-boron carbide i-oxidized, izosebenzisana nezinto eziyisisekelo ukwenza isigaba se-liquid noma igesi, ngaleyo ndlela ivimbele i-carbon e-carbonaceous refractory ekubeni i-oxidized futhi yandise impilo yesevisi ye-carbon. -equkethe i-refractory.
