Overview

Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN) minerals are designed for the toughest grinding and cutting tasks, especially on hardened steels. With outstanding hardness, thermal stability up to 1,400°C, and low chemical reactivity, CBN ensures long tool life and precise results in automotive, aerospace, and bearing manufacturing. Controlled friability and engineered grain structures maintain sharpness and efficiency throughout demanding operations.

Highlights

Exceptional Hardness

Second only to diamond (Knoop hardness 4,500 HV) for machining hardened steels (>45 HRC).

Thermal Stability

Withstands 1,400°C without phase degradation—ideal for dry/high-speed grinding.

Features

Low Chemical Reactivity

Inert with iron-based alloys, preventing tool wear when grinding ferrous metals.

Controlled Friability

Engineered grain fracture patterns maintain sharp cutting edges longer than alumina.
