1. CUBIC BORON NITRIDE 1.1. INTRODUCTION:
The second hardest material, Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN), is created by man, using temperatures and pressures similar to those for diamond synthesis. Used in the correct manner CBN offers cost-effective rapid stock removal and finishing of hardened steels and certain softer ferrous materials. The lattice structure is hexagonal similar to that of graphite.
Engineers throughout the world are improving productivity and quality, and reducing grinding cost per piece, by replacing Al2O3 wheels with CBN (cubic boron nitride) wheels made with porous vitrified bonds.
1.2. ORIGIN:
The cubic form was only realised after the discovery, in 1957, by R. H.
Wentorf Jr. of the General Electric Company, USA, that the hexagonal form
could be transformed to the cubic by the use of high temperatures and
pressures.

1.4.3. THERMAL PROPERTIES: Cubic boron nitride is extremely stable in air, nitrogen or vacuum -
temperatures ca. 1400 - 1550 °C have to be exceeded before any change in stability occurs. This is in marked contrast to diamond which starts to form a graphite surface film at temperatures ca. 650 °C in the presence of oxygen.
The specific heat values are approximately twice that for diamond, whilst the thermal conductivity value is much lower than that of diamond. The values for thermal expansion between 430 °C and 1160 °C are slightly higher than those for diamond.

1.4.6. CHEMICAL REACTIVITY: Study of chemical properties of materials is necessary because most of
the engineering materials, when they come in contact with other substances
with which they can react, tend to suffer from deterioration.

2. POLY-CRYSTALLINE DIAMONDS
2.1. INTRODUCTION:
Diamond is the hardest, most abrasive-resistant, material known to man. These properties make diamond an ideal cutting tool. Within the crystal structure, however, fracture planes, used by the diamond cutter to produce the gem diamond from the rough, can cause catastrophic breakage of the tool edge, when subjected to impact.
PCD tools incorporate Polycrystalline Diamond blanks produced under conditions of high pressure (1 million PSI) and temperature (1700 Degrees C), similar to those of diamond synthesis. Randomly orientated, carefully selected synthetic diamond crystals are grown together on a hard metal substrate.
This results in a material with the hardness, abrasive resistance and high thermal conductivity of diamond with the toughness of hard metal. Using the hard metal substrate the PCD blank is brazed to a carrier, either steel or hard metal, and machined by grinding or E.D.M to produce the cutting edge.
When compared to other cutting tool materials, there are three main reasons for using PCD tools:-
Increased tool life results in reduced tool cost per component and less idle machine time.
Increasing cutting speed improves productivity through reduced cycle times.
Grinding and other less productive machining methods can be replaced by PCD milling and turning.
PCD (Polycrystalline Diamond) has been available for milling non-ferrous abrasive materials for many years. The common method of tool production has been grinding using Diamond grinding wheels.
The forces required to grind PCD with Diamond are extremely high. This means that it has been very difficult to produce cutting tool inserts accurately enough to work properly in the fixed pocket milling cutters commonly available. Cutters with adjustable pockets for the inserts were developed, but these require care and patience to set up and are expensive to buy and repair.
Poly – Crystalline Diamonds exist both in nature and also can be manufactured artificially using man-made diamond particles.
2.2. NATURAL PCD:
Carbonado, commonly known as the "Black Diamond", is a natural polycrystalline diamond found in alluvial deposits in the Central African Republic and Brazil. Its natural colour is black or dark grey, and it is more porous than other diamonds.

The most characteristic carbonados have been found only in the Central African Republic and in Brazil, in neither place associated with kimberlite, the source of typical gem diamonds.
Lead isotope analyses have been interpreted as documenting crystallization of carbonados about 3 billion years ago. The carbonados are found in younger sedimentary rocks.
2.2.1. PROPERTIES:
1. Carbonado diamonds are typically pea-sized or larger porous aggregates of many tiny black crystals.
2. Carbonado exhibits strong luminescence (photoluminescence and cathodoluminescence) induced by nitrogen and by vacancies existing in the crystal lattice.
3. Isotope studies have yielded further clues to carbonado genesis. The carbon isotope value is very low (little carbon-13 compared to carbon-12, relative to typical diamonds).
Mineral grains included within diamonds have been studied extensively for clues to diamond origin:
1. Some typical diamonds contain inclusions of common mantle minerals such as pyrope and forsterite, but such mantle minerals have not been observed in carbonado.
2. In contrast, some carbonados do contain inclusions of minerals characteristic of the Earth’s crust: these inclusions do not necessarily establish formation of the diamonds in the crust, however, because these obvious crustal inclusions occur in the pores that are common in carbonados. These inclusions within pores may have been introduced after carbonado formation. Inclusions of other minerals, rare or nearly absent in the Earth’s crust, are found at least partly incorporated in diamond, not just in pores: among such other minerals are those with compositions of Si, SiC, and Fe-Ni. No distinctive high-pressure minerals, including the hexagonal carbon polymorph, lonsdaleite, have been found as inclusions in carbonados, although such inclusions might be expected if carbonados formed by meteorite impact.
2.3. ARTIFICIAL PCD:
In 1976, the Baker Hughes Inc. company introduced bits with synthetic
diamond cutters called polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) bits.
2.3.1. FABRICATION:
It is manufactured using man-made diamond particles that are grown together in a high pressure, high temperature process. At the same time, these particles are integrally bonded to a cemented tungsten carbide substrate for mechanical strength and impact resistance.
2.3.2. PROPERTIES:
Poly-crystalline diamond bits (PCD) offer hardness, strength and abrasion resistance of natural diamond without its susceptibility to fracturing.

2.4. APPLICATIONS:
1. It can be inserted into PCD cutting tools, PCD drilling bits/core bits,
PCD wire drawing dies, reamers and other wear resistant components.
2. Poly-crystalline diamond bits are well suited to high speed cutting of aluminium, particularly when good surface finishes are mandatory.
3. Often, poly-crystalline diamond bits are recommended for cutting high content silicon aluminium alloys.
4. These diamond bits are also used on brass, copper, carbide and bronze in applications including turning, boring, profiling, grooving, milling and hole making.
5. Used for oil field drilling and coal mining.
2.5. MANUFACTURING DIFFERENT SHAPES OF PCD:
TSP can be manufactured into a variety of sizes and shapes (Cubes,
cylinders, Discs, Rectangles, Triangles, spheres , etc.,).
TSP/PCD mining and oil drilling bits are best suited for more abrasive or
broken formations. PCD drill bits are suitable for drilling in soft rocks with
hardness below 7 degrees such as lime rock, marble, shale, etc., and in
medium to hard rocks with coarse grains such as sedimentary rock.

2.8. ADVANTAGES:
Poly-crystalline diamond bits offer a number of advantages to manufacturing operations in terms of application range and productivity.
1. The results obtained in drilling medium to hard rocks and non – uniform abrasive formations are much better than those obtained with drill bits impregnated or surface-set with single natural diamond crystals.
2. A factor that improves the toughness of poly-crystalline diamond is the presence of cobalt in the microstructure along with the random orientation of the diamond particles. The tungsten carbide substrate also provides mechanical support for the diamond abrasive layer, increasing impact resistance and making it easier for braze attachment in tool fabrication.
3. Another benefit of poly-crystalline diamond bits is the range of diamond grades available to fit any nonferrous application.
Typically, fine-grain diamond is used for less abrasive applications requiring an excellent surface finish. Medium-grain diamond is considered a general-purpose machining grade. Coarse-grain diamond is used in rough machining and in extremely abrasive materials where surface finish may not be as important.
4. It also excels in machining highly abrasive work pieces.
2.9. DISADVANTAGES:
Because of a chemical interaction between diamond and iron, poly-crystalline diamond bits are not typically used to cut ferrous materials. However, diamond bits can be used to tackle bimetal applications involving aluminium and cast iron.
