Grinding sodium acetylide with finely divided aluminum, iron, lead, or mercury may result in a vigorous reaction that releases carbon (J. W. Mellor, 1946. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 5, pp. 848. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.).
Calcium carbide poses a fire hazard when exposed to steel tools (Anon. 1940. Industrial Safety Bulletin 8:41).
Calcium carbide incandesces when heated with magnesium (J. W. Mellor, 1940. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 4, pp. 271. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.).
