CONT

Boron nitride.... Graphite-like(g-BN), wurzite(w-BN) and zinc blende(z-BN) are known polymorphs of BN corresponding to the graphite(hexagonal) and diamond(cubic) structures.... Cubic boron nitride is second in hardness only to diamond. It is used for high performance tool bits and in special grinding applications.

CONT

The newer synthesized abrasives include cubic boron nitride which is increasingly important in the finish grinding of hard alloy steels, and zirconia-alumina, which is used primarily in coated abrasives.

CONT

Manufactured abrasives include alumina, silicon carbide, boron carbide, cubic boron nitride, and diamond.

OBS

Compare "borazon."
