Method for producing cubic boron nitride abrasive grains

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for producing cubic boron nitride abrasive grains used for producing a grinding wheel, etc., and to cubic boron nitride abrasive grains. The method comprises maintaining a mixture containing hexagonal boron nitride and seed crystals of cubic boron nitride under pressure and temperature conditions where cubic boron nitride remains thermodynamically stable, characterized in that the seed crystals contain cubic boron nitride twin crystals.
