CBN (Cubic Boron Nitride)

CBN

CBN (Cubic Boron Nitride) is second only to diamond in hardness, and is a synthetically produced material with high thermal conductivity.

Features

  • Superior wear resistance when machining hard materials
  • Suitable for high speed machining of hard materials, sintered steel and cast iron
  • High thermal conductivity provides stable machining
  • Features of CBN
