What is Coated CBN Powder?

Coated CBN powder refers to synthetic cubic boron nitride particles that are uniformly coated with metal or compound layers such as nickel, copper, or titanium. These coatings significantly enhance the CBN’s thermal resistance, bond retention, and durability during high-temperature and high-speed machining processes, particularly on hardened ferrous materials.
At Crownkyn Diamond, we focus on delivering high-performance coated CBN powders with consistent coating quality, precise particle size distribution, and stable performance. Our coating options are tailored to meet the specific requirements of tool manufacturers, helping improve grinding efficiency, reduce wear, and extend the service life of resin, metal, and vitrified bond tools.

Key Features and Benefits of Coating CBN Powder

Coated CBN powder offers enhanced bond retention, superior thermal stability, and protection against chemical wear during the grinding of ferrous materials. The uniform metal coating strengthens the bond between CBN particles and the binder, reducing grain pull-out and improving tool integrity. This results in extended tool life, consistent cutting performance, and greater resistance to heat and mechanical stress—ideal for demanding industrial applications requiring precision and durability.

Enhanced Bond Retention

The uniform metal coating strengthens the bond between CBN particles and the tool matrix, effectively reducing grain pull-out and improving tool life in demanding grinding conditions.

Improved Thermal Stability

Coatings such as nickel or titanium shield CBN particles from thermal degradation, maintaining abrasive performance and structural integrity under high-temperature operations.

Better Heat Dissipation

Coated CBN facilitates efficient heat transfer during machining, helping to minimise thermal damage to both the workpiece and the tool, while improving overall grinding efficiency.

Coating Types and Their Functions

Crownkyn uses advanced coating technologies to enhance the performance of diamond powder. Depending on the coating material and the specific application, we apply one of three methods, each offering distinct advantages to meet different bonding systems and processing requirements.
A uniform, auto-catalytic process that deposits metals like Ni or Cu evenly on the CBN surface without electricity. Ideal for micron and irregular-shaped CBN particles, this method enhances wettability, bond retention, and dispersion in resin and bronze bond systems.
An electric-current-assisted technique used to apply coatings such as Ni or Ni-Co. This process provides strong adhesion and precise control of coating thickness, making it suitable for electroplated tools and applications requiring tight particle bonding and consistent grit retention.
A high-temperature vapour-phase process that forms carbide-forming coatings like Ti, Cr, or TiC on the CBN surface. CVD coatings deliver excellent thermal stability, oxidation resistance, and chemical protection—ideal for vitrified and metal bond tools used in aggressive, high-temperature grinding operations.
