The Use of Cubic Boron Nitride in the Production Grinding Field (Part 1)

Abstract

Production Engineers have been continually seeking to find new and improved ways of converting an unmachined component into its finished design. Much of their time is spent investigating the contribution that new cutting tool materials and coolants could give them in the production of their components. In the field of production grinding more and more attention is being focused on the use of Superabrasives and in particular on ‘Cubic Boron Nitride’ for the grinding of ferrous materials. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the use of ‘Cubic Boron Nitride’ (C.B.N.) in the production grinding field and how the Engineer should approach the application of this highly versatile abrasive.
