Polycrystalline Cubic Boron Nitride (PCBN)
Inquiry
Cubic boron nitride (CBN) is the second kind of superhard material prepared after synthetic diamond. PCBN is sintered by suitable size CBN single crystal powder at high temperature and pressure with or without binder. It is widely used in manufacturing turning tool, milling cutter, boring cutter, high speed cutting all kinds of hardened steel, high hardness cast iron, thermal spraying materials and high temperature alloy and other difficult cutting materials.
Characteristics
- High hardness and wear resistance: with hardness (HV10000) and bending strength (210 ~ 490MPa) close to diamond, the smaller the average particle size of CBN, the higher the durability.
- High thermal stability: the heat resistance can reach 1400℃ ~ 1500℃, which is twice higher than that of diamond. It can be used for high-speed cutting of superalloy and hardened steel.
- Excellent chemical properties: high chemical inertia, can be used for diamond can not be processed steel materials. High oxidation resistance, no oxidation phenomenon occurs when the temperature is below 1000℃.

- Good thermal conductivity: thermal conductivity increases gradually with the increase of cutting speed, which is conducive to reducing the temperature of the cutting zone and reducing diffusion wear.
- Lower friction coefficient: the friction coefficient of different materials is 0.1 ~ 0.3, much smaller than the friction coefficient of cemented carbide (0.4 ~ 0.6).
- High bending strength: PCBN and cemented carbide with high bending strength composite sheet, its bending strength increased to 1500 MPa (150 kg·f/mm2), can withstand greater impact without damage.
