What is Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN) Powder?

Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN) powder is a high-performance industrial abrasive synthesised under high pressure and high temperature conditions. In this process, hexagonal boron nitride is transformed into its cubic crystalline form, second only to diamond in hardness. The resulting powder offers exceptional hardness, superior thermal stability, and excellent chemical resistance, making it ideal for precision grinding, honing, and finishing of hardened steels and superalloys.
At Crownkyn, we manufacture high-quality Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN) powder using advanced high-pressure, high-temperature technology, transforming hexagonal boron nitride into its ultra-hard cubic form. Our product range includes coarse and fine grinding grades, as well as micron powders, which offer exceptional hardness, thermal stability, and chemical resistance for demanding industrial applications such as precision grinding, honing, and machining of hardened steels and superalloys.

  • Choose the Right CBN Powder for Your Process

    STEP 1

    Match the Bond System

    Identify whether the CBN powder will be used in resin, vitrified, metal, or electroplated bonds. Different bond systems require different surface properties.
    STEP 2

    Select the Appropriate Grade

    Choose from standard blocky grade for general grinding, shaped blocky grade for improved uniformity and tool life, or coated grades for enhanced bond retention and heat resistance in demanding conditions.
    STEP 3

    Choose the Right Grit Size

    Fine grits are suited for honing, lapping, and finishing, medium grits for precision grinding, and coarse grits for heavy stock removal and rough machining of hardened steels.
    STEP 4

    Consider Particle Shape and Coating

    Blocky, multi-angular particles provide aggressive cutting and durability, while shaped and coated particles deliver better consistency, bond retention, and stability under high temperatures.
