Cubic boron nitride inserts, often referred to as CBN inserts, are engineered cutting tools renowned for their extraordinary hardness, second only to diamonds. Composed of boron and nitrogen atoms in a crystal lattice structure, CBN inserts exhibit exceptional wear resistance, making it essential for machining hardened steels, all types of cast iron, as well as a number of heat-resistant and sintered materials and exotic hard-to-machine alloys.
