Methods are being used to convert HBN to CBN.
Catalysts used in this method include alkali metal or alkaline earth metal nitrides, Ca 3 B 2 N 4
and Li 3 BN 2 are known. This kind of method
HBN is dissolved in the catalyst melt and CBN is precipitated by taking advantage of the fact that CBN has a lower solubility in the eutectic than HBN under synthesis conditions.
By the way, CBN particles used as an abrasive material are required to be dense, transparent, euhedral grains, and of high quality with high crushing strength. However, the above conventional
The reality is that in CBN manufacturing methods, it is not always possible to obtain high-quality CBN with sufficient mechanical strength and a good shape.
