Diamond And Cubic Boron Nitride Are Types Of. Diamond also interacts with iron making it difficult to use with steel tools. The nanocomposite of C 2-BN exhibits p-type semiconductivity with low activation energy and high thermal stability making it a functional ultrahard substance.
Diamond is the hardest material in existence but is useless for cutting steel because it reacts with iron from which steel is made at high temperaturesCubic boron nitride a. These comparative studies substantiate that the incubation amorphousturbostratic BN layers essential for. The cubic boron nitride is the second most important superhard materials.
Type Other Pickett WE Jackson KA 1991 Theory of Interfaces Involving Diamond and Cubic Boron Nitride.
Cubic boron nitride cBN a diamond-structured compound is widely used as an abrasive with much higher thermal stability than diamond 1473 K. To date the effect of crystallographic anisotropy of the 111 plane on the Knoop microhardness of cubic boron nitride single crystals has not been experimentally obtained. These comparative studies substantiate that the incubation amorphousturbostratic BN layers essential for. Review of Scientific Instruments 79 5.
