Chemical stability of boron carbide
Boron carbide is one of the most stable compounds and is not prone to oxidation reactions below 600°C; when the temperature is higher than 600°C, a B2O3 film is formed due to surface oxidation, preventing further oxidation of B4C. Antioxidants. The film has significant micropore size (HV=24GPa) and fatigue resistance. Therefore, B4C can be used for boronizing steel and alloys.
