I-Carbon-graphite iyimpahla yokuzithambisa, futhi iyisici sobuso esisebenza ngezindlela eziningi esisetshenziswa nezindandatho zokukhwelana zezinto eziqinile njenge-silicon carbide, i-alumina, noma i-tungsten carbide. I-Ourcarbon inezici zokugqoka eziphezulu kanye nokumelana namakhemikhali okubanzi. Ama-corrodents aqinile ahlanganisa i-hydrofluoric ne-nitric acid, ama-carbongrade akhethekile ayatholakala.
