Uses of Cubic Boron Nitrate (cBN) for Industrial Purposes

Cubic boron nitrate, or cBN, is the second-hardest substance known to mankind. Known principally as a substitute for diamonds in industrial machines, it is a main component for the cutting of certain metals. It is cheaper to work with compared to genuine diamonds, while still providing and powering the same industrial applications.

The use of cubic boron nitrate as an abrasive is principally due to the substance's insolubility with certain metals. Iron, nickel and other similar alloys at high temperatures are known to react with diamonds, creating carbide chemicals. These can ruin the cutting procedures, as they transform the chemical makeup of the materials that need to be cut. They can thus contaminate critical processes where exposure to carbon or oxygen can be disastrous to the project being carried out.

Cubic boron nitrate, on the other hand, is inert when interacting with these metals at high temperatures. In that way, the risk of wasteful contamination and unwanted reactions is next to none. Coupled with the extreme hardness that cBN possesses, tools built with these as part of cutting are highly effective for a diverse set of tasks. Machines for metal cutting thus use cubic boron nitrate as part of their tool materials to be able to cut metal.

It is the low cost of cubic boron nitrate's manufacturing process that makes it valuable. By taking boron nitrate powder and performing a chemical process called sintering, cBN can be created very quickly in massive amounts. Machines that make use of these not only have a comparable strength to diamond tools, but come at lower costs as well.

Why isn't it profitable to drill for oil in Texas? Seems like with oil around $60 a barrel and dependence on .

the mid-east opec that they'd be sinking bits all over the USA. And why don't we just be more friendly to Mexico in exchange for cheap oil?

First, Mexican government owns the oil company Pemex, and the Mexican Constitution prohibits foreign investment in oil. Second, with Texas need to get a permit first off to explore offshore for oil. Find oil then you gotta resubmit a permit and documentation that there is oil, and gotta go thru environmental assessment at the local, state, federal level to be able to drill for oil. Finally, it costs lots of money to build the Equipment to extract the oil, and the oil company found a oil reserve would have to spend a while to make sure its worth the investment for offshore oil drilling before they put the equipment to extract it out there. Finally. drilling for oil in Texas would be profitable if there wasn't environmental, and local red-tape. Dint worry Shell is learning the fine art of making oil out of tar sands in Montana to Alberta those deposits if extracted efficiently will provide oil for a long time. The other sources to make fuel like Straw grass would be a good idea because straw grass is the only source of ethanol that is actually a energy gainer. Corn based ethanol is a energy drainer because the time it tales to grow the crops., the fertilizers to protect and grow the corn, and the having to use heavy machinery to grab and extract the ethanol cello use from the corn. Personally not worried about oil much because other sources of extraction of oil will replace overtime oil from unfriendly suppliers.
