Boron Nitride Ceramic Properties

Boron nitride is a white solid ceramic material, with a nickname of "white graphite" because of its similar appearance and structure. Boron nitride ceramic is an excellent material which has low porosity, good thermal conductivity, low dielectric constant and superior dielectric strength. It is easily machined into complex shapes, and then ready for use without additional heat-treating or firing operations.
Boron nitride has a variety of different variants: hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), rhombohedral boron nitride (r-BN), cubic boron nitride (c-BN) and wurtzite boron nitride (w-BN). The most commonly used in the industry are h-BN and c-BN.

H-BN & C-BN

Hexagonal boron nitride, abbreviated as hBN, is an electron body having a layered structure similar to graphite. It has good lubricity, electrical insulation, thermal conductivity, and chemical resistance, and also has the ability to absorb neutrons. It is made of nitrogen (such as urea, melamine, etc.) and boron (borax, boric acid, etc.) materials at high temperatures. Hexagonal boron nitride products are easy to process and have high moisture resistance.

Cubic boron nitride (CBN) is a synthetic superhard material that is second only to diamond in hardness. As an engineering material, it has been widely used in the processing of ferrous metals and their alloy materials. At the same time, it has been used in a range of high-tech fields due to its excellent thermal, electrical, optical and acoustic properties. Cubic boron nitride powder for precision grinding, grinding, polishing and finishing to achieve high precision machining of surfaces.

Is Cubic Boron Nitride Harder than Diamond?

When it comes to the hardest materials on Earth, diamonds are often the first that come to mind, celebrated for their unmatched natural hardness and durability. However, in the world of materials science, another contender plays a crucial role in various industrial applications: cubic boron nitride (cBN) . This raises a compelling question: Is cubic boron nitride harder than diamond? Understanding Hardness and Material Science Hardness, in materials science, refers to a material's resistance to deformation, particularly permanent changes such as indentation or scratching. The hardness of a material is a crucial factor in its application, especially when it comes to cutting, grinding, and drilling technologies. Diamond: The Unsurpassed Natural Material Diamond, a crystalline form of carbon, has long been recognized as the hardest known natural material. Its extraordinary hardness makes it ideal for a wide range of applications, from jewelry to industrial cutting and drilling tools. ...

Main Application Fields of Lanthanum Hexaboride Ceramic Materials

Lanthanum hexaboride LaB6 cathode material: Lanthanum hexaboride has the characteristics of high emission current density and low evaporation rate at high temperature. Therefore, as a cathode material, it has gradually replaced some tungsten cathodes in industrial applications.
