Cubic boron nitride (C–BN)' powders admixed with graphite-structured boron nitride powder (g-DN), silicon carbide whisker (SCW), or silicon nitride whisker (SNW) were shock compacted to pressures up to 22 GPa. Unlike previous work with diamond and graphite [D. K. Potter and T. J. Ahrens, J. Appl. Phys. 63, 910 (1987) it was found that the addition of g-BN inhibited dynamic consolidation. Good consolidation was achieved with a 4–8 μm particle size C–BN powder admixed with 15 wt.% SNW or 20 wt.% SCW whereas a 37–44 μm particle size C–BN mixture was only poorly consolidated. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis demonstrates that SCW and SNW in the mixtures were highly deformed and indicated melt textures. A skin heating model was used to describe the physics of consolidation. Model calculations are consistent with SEM analysis images that indicate plastic deformation of SCW and SNW. Micro-Vickers hardness values as high as 50 GPa were obtained for consolidated C–BN and SNW mixtures. This compares to 21 GPa for single-crystal Al2O3 and 120 GPa for diamond.

(0, 5, 10, 15, 20) vol% CBN-WC/Co composites were consolidated by ball milling and the following hot-pressing sintering method. WC, Co and CBN powders were used as the starting materials. The effects of the CBN content on the density, microstructure and mechanical properties of CBN-WC/Co composites were investigated. The results showed that the CBN content had remarkable influence on the microstructure and mechanical properties of CBN-WC/Co Composites. With the increasing content of CBN, the density decrease, while Vickers hardness and flexural strength increased initially to the maximum values and then decreased at CBN 10 vol%. When 10 vol% CBN-WC/Co powders were hot-pressing sintered at 1350°C and 20MPa for 90 min, an excellent Vickers hardness of 19.8GPa was achieved, combining a flexural strength of 682MPa.

This work compares the effect of cubic boron nitride (CBN) and multilayer (TiCN+Al2O3+TiN) coated tungsten carbide (WC) tools during the turning of spheroidal graphite (SG) nodular iron. Nodular irons have more ductility which is required in mechanical components that demand high fatigue resistance like crankshafts, cam shafts, bearing caps and clutch housings. The impact of various process parameters like the depth of cut, cutting speed and feed on the surface roughness (Ra) of SG iron is studied and optimized using the response surface model. The chip morphology is also discussed for evaluation of the quality of the turned surface. The experimental outcomes reveal that the WC tool offers a high surface finish at the optimal combination of the cutting speed at 102 meter/minute, feed at 0.051 millimeter/revolution and depth of cut at 0.5 millimeter and that, for the CBN insert, at 245 meter/minute of cutting speed, 0.051 millimeter/revolution of feed and 0.75 millimeter of depth of cut.

Using polycrystalline cubic boron nitride compact (cBN) tools, which have different cBN contents and cBN particle sizes, the influences of both the cBN content and the cBN particle size on tool wear in turning of hardened steel at various cutting speeds was experimentally investigated. Three types of cBN tools (a cBN content of 45-55% and 75%, and a cBN particle size of 0.5 μm and 5 μm, respectively) were tested. Furthermore, three kinds of chamfered and honed cutting edges were also used. The main results obtained are as follows: (1) In the case of the cBN tools with the same cBN particle size of 5.0 μm, the tool life of the cBN tool with a cBN content of 75% was longer than that of the cBN tool with a cBN content of 45% at low cutting speed. However, at high cutting speed, the tool life of the cBN tool with a cBN content of 75% was shorter. (2) The tool life of the cBN tool with both a cBN content of 55% and a cBN particle size of 0.5 μm was the longest. (3) The tool wear of cBN tools decreased with a decrease in chamfer width.
