Compare and contrast: carbon and boron nitride
Cutting tools?
boron nitride
Boron nitride is a crystalline compound of boron and nitrogen, an industrial ceramic material. it is used as electrical insulators and cutting tools. It is made in two crystallographic forms, hexagonal boron nitride (H-BN) and cubic boron nitride (C-BN).
generally boron nitride are of two structure
hexagonal boron nitride and cubic boron nitride
cubic boron nitride diamond
Density (g/cm3) = 3.45 3.515
bulk modulus(G.Pa) = 400 440
thermal coductivity (W/m.K) = 740 2200
hardness of diamond and boron nitride on the Mohs hardness scale is 10 and 7 respectively
for cutting purpose diamond is superior material and diamond has tetrahedral structure and diamond is a pure form of carbon wherease boron nitride is a compound
