Why not make it ablative to that end as a measure against weapons with a thermal discharge (high velocity ammunition, shaped charges, sabots, plasma weapons... Just about anything that can really ruin a powered-armor's day that isn't highly advanced).
I can see people buying slabs of this and mounting it over grunts like skirting armor over various joints bulking up shoulders and limbs and the like so they have a better life expectancy in any half-baked or better argument between who has the better gun (usually settled by whoever fires first).
Better yet, Five should get in here and defend it himself so he can decide where his equipment actually goes.

Well, if the submission has properties that contradict each other, and the properties themselves don't mesh with the fluff text, then yes it would need to be changed.
Also keep in mind what the individual properties would mean. For example organized ablation helps reduce heat transfer to the bulk of the material like outlined in Osakan's last post, but it causes the surface to degrade making it virtually useless for rail gun rails.

Can we get some actual review on this?
From someone who actually knows what they're talking about?

This review is for: Boreanium Alloy

[x] Artwork (illustrations are strongly encouraged for all spacecraft and handheld items)
[x] Needed and/or useful to the setting
[x] In the proper format/template
[x] Proofread for spelling and grammar
[x] Easy to read and understand (not a lengthy mass of technobabble)
[-] Wikified (terms that could be a link should be a link)

The article has…
[x] Speeds in compliance with the Starship Speed Standard, if applicable
[x] Damage Capacity and Damage Ratings in compliance with the DR Guidelines
[-] The in-character year of creation/manufacture. (Should be current year. Future years not allowed).
[x] The Standard Product Nomenclature System, if applicable.
Summary
Note here if any serious issues are present. These are the issues that will hold up approval.
Reasonably scientifically plausible
radiate the heat away away as light.
Metal can't convert thermal energy to light. Metals glow because the atoms are vibrating with a lot of energy. They do not convert the heat to light.
cool down - which takes at least half a minute.
very-very hot objects glow white (around 3000K), and this stuff cools off in 30 seconds? And the rate at which a substance cools depends on the surrounding temp. So on the surface of the moon the temp is 107 °C, and during the lunar night, it averages −153 °C. The metal is going to cool very differently at those values.
Boreanium does not bend or warp when exposed to high heat or friction
Boreanium does not ablate when exposed to high-temperatures.
You have stated this is supposed to be a Light Armor, but these properties are more like some of the heavier armors.
These should be rewritten since no material should be an absolute. Perhaps include a temperature at which the material will start to do those things.

This field is for any extra description needed for the issues stated above or (as the name suggests) and additional notes you wish to state in the record regarding the item.
The following items should be wiki links:

First the proper name is Origin Industries, second company names should not be used with the possessive 's.
