A method of improving adhesion of a nickel alloy to the surfaces of cubic boron nitride particles and articles made therefrom. Cubic boron nitride particles are electrolessly nickel plated with the nickel alloy formed with a metalloid, such as boron. Electrolessly plated particles are then gradually heated at a steady rata from room temperature to a desired heat treatment temperature in a non-oxidising atmosphere formed by argon containing 10% hydrogen. Exemplary articles made by the aforementioned process include a grinding wheel having uniformly dispersed abrasive cubic boron nitride particles having the Ni/E alloy coat thereon.
