Dynamic compaction of cubic boron nitride powders

  • 1. Center for Explosives Technology Research, New Mexico Inst. of Mining and Technology, Socorro, NM 87801

Description

Compacts of cubic boron nitride with 94% of theoretical density and a Vickers microhardness of 30.3 GPa were produced from coarse c-BN powder by a shock compaction technique. The density and microhardness of these compacts depend strongly on the grain size of the starting powders
