It does not react with acid and alkali solution, and has high chemical degree, neutron absorption, wear resistance and semiconductor conductivity. It is one of the substances that are stable to acids and are stable in all concentrated or dilute aqueous solutions of acids or bases. With sulfuric acid, hydrofluoric acid mixed acid treatment, in the air at 800 DEG C calcination 21h, can be completely decomposed and the formation of carbon trioxide and boron trioxide.
When there are some transition metals and their carbides coexist, there is a special stability.
Boron carbide reacts strongly with the boron carbide powder to form metal borides at 1000~1100 ℃.
When melting with sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate in the presence of nitric acid, boron carbide is easily decomposed and made into a solution.
It has a Mohs hardness of 9.3 and is the fifth known hard substance after boron nitride, diamond, fullerene compounds and diamond monolithic fiber tubes.
