Global Cubic Boron Nitride Market Forecast 2016-2024: 3M, Saint-Gobain, Element Six, NanoDiamond Products, Sandvik AB
Cubic boron nitride (CBN) is a synthetically manufactured material, which is second to only diamond in hardness. One of its common synthesis processes is direct conversion of hexagonal boron nitride to CBN by treating at high pressure and temperature. CBN abrasives possess characteristics that exceed the values of conventional abrasives; for example, high strength and hardness, resistance to chemicals, heat, and abrasion; and ability to maintain the sharp cutting edges during use.
