Cubic boron nitride (CBN) provide higher productivity and dramatically longer tool lives compared to conventional abrasives when grinding, honing and fine finishing hardened ferrous materials and difficult to machine alloys.
In particular, the properties of high thermal stability and chemical resistance make it suitable for machining ferrous materials, an area where synthetic diamond abrasives are not normally employed.
Some of the many advantages of CBN include improved surface finishes and the production of more favourable compressive residual surface stresses.
CBN widely used for grinding operations in the automotive, general engineering and aerospace industries.
Application examples include camshafts, crankshafts, fuel injectors, transmission parts, gears, CV joints, power steering pump parts and compressor parts.
