Cubic boron nitride is a synthetic crystalline material second only to diamond in Knoop hardness and although softer than diamond, CBN is superior in terms of abrasion resistance and oxidation resistance with steel alloys.
CBNs relative crystalline inertness makes it the abrasive of choice for grinding steels, cast iron and nickel-based alloys.
Cubic boron nitride mesh is typically 40 µm and larger in particle size and is available in an electroless nickel (Ni) coating of 60% by weight. Electroless coated particles promote enhanced grinding wheel performance in terms of longevity due to improved heat removal from the grinding zone and increased abrasive adhesion in the bond system.
