Recension of boron nitride phase diagram based on high-pressure and high-temperature experiments

Cubic boron nitride and hexagonal boron nitride are the two predominant crystalline structures of boron nitride.They can interconvert under varying pressure and temperature conditions.However,this transformation requires overcoming significant potential barriers in dynamics,which poses great difficulty in determining the c-BN/h-BN phase boundary.This study used high-pressure in situ differential thermal measurements to ascertain the temperature of h-BN/c-BN conversion within the commonly used pressure range(3-6 GPa)for the industrial synthesis of c-BN to constrain the P-T phase boundary of h-BN/c-BN in the pressure-temperature range as much as possible.Based on the analysis of the experimental data,it is determined that the relationship between pressure and temperature conforms to the following equation:P=a+1/bT.Here,P denotes the pressure(GPa)and T is the temperature(K).The coefficients are a=-3.8±0.8 GPa and b=229.8±17.1 GPa/K.These findings call into question existing high-pressure and high-temperature phase diagrams of boron nitride,which seem to overstate the phase boundary temperature between c-BN and h-BN.The BN phase diagram obtained from this study can provide critical temperature and pressure condition guidance for the industrial synthesis of c-BN,thus optimizing synthesis efficiency and product performance.

碳纳米管对混合粒径PcBN复合材料性能的影响

为提高高温高压制备的聚晶立方氮化硼(PcBN)复合材料的性能,以颗粒尺寸分别为0~0.5μm和0.5~1.0μm的混合粒径立方氮化硼(cBN)为原材料,Al-Ti-Al_(2)O_(3)为结合剂,加入不同质量分数的碳纳米管,在高温高压条件下烧结制备PcBN复合材料,研究碳纳米管质量分数对PcBN复合材料结构和性能的影响。结果表明:添加碳纳米管后,PcBN和碳纳米管间没有发生化学反应,碳纳米管以增强体的形式存在于复合材料内部;复合材料较致密,碳纳米管的添加使PcBN的相对密度先增大后减小。当碳纳米管添加质量分数为1.5%时,PcBN的相对密度有最大值97.9%,同时PcBN有最大的显微硬度和断裂韧性,分别为3892 HV和6.82 MPa·m^(1/2);当碳纳米管的添加质量分数为1.0%时,PcBN有最大的抗弯强度和磨耗比,分别为584 MPa和6873。碳纳米管拔出和桥连作用提高了PcBN复合材料的力学性能。

单颗CBN磨粒超声振动辅助磨削AISI 304材料去除机理

为了解释超声作用下磨粒切削材料的去除机理,对单粒磨削过程进行了分析,建立了未变形切削厚度和磨粒与试件的固定速度比(vs/vw)的数学模型.在AISI 304试件上进行了固定速度比的普通磨削(conventional grinding,CG)、切向超声振动辅助磨削(tangential ultrasonic vibration assisted grinding,TUVAG)以及径向超声振动辅助磨削(radial ultrasonic vibration assisted grinding,RUVAG)的单颗粒试验.结果表明,在固定速度比条件下,试件在CG与TUVAG作用下都是以塑性变形的形式去除,但超声辅助显著提高了材料去除率.试件在RUVAG作用下材料的去除方式与未变形切削最大厚度agmax的值息息相关.agmax小于0.8μm时,试件表现为脆性断裂的形式去除;之后随着agmax逐渐增大,试件转变为塑性变形的形式去除.

The electrical properties of sulfur-implanted cubic boron nitride thin films

Cubic boron nitride （c-BN） thin films are deposited on p-type Si wafers using radio frequency （RF） sputtering and then doped by implanting S ions. Wile implantation energy of the ions is 19 keV, and the implantation dose is between 1015 ions/cm2 and 1016 ions/cm2. The doped c-BN thin films are then annealed at a temperature between 400℃ and 800℃. The results show that the surface resistivity of doped and annealed c-BN thin films is lowered by two to three orders, and the activation energy of c-BN thin films is 0.18 eV.

Structure evolution of cubic boron nitride under spark plasma sintering

Cubic boron nitride(CBN) micro powders and mixture of CBN micro powders with Al or Ti powders were fast heated at 1 300,1 400,1 450,1 500℃,and then kept for 5 min under spark plasma sintering (SPS).The obtained powders were analyzed with XRD.The results show that,simple CBN kept cubic structure after heated at 1 300℃;when the temperature rose to 1 400℃,some CBN was transformed into hexagonal structured boron nitride(hBN).As for CBN micro powders mixed with aluminum or titanium micro powders,the onset transforming temperature of CBN to hBN get raised.This results indicated that the structural transformation of boron nitride begun from the surface of CBN crystal particle,different coexist elements affect the surface situation of CBN particles.As the stabilities of CBN crystal particle surface improved,the onset structural transform temperature of CBN was also increased.

In situ infrared spectroscopic study of cubic boron nitride thin film delamination

This paper investigates the procedure of cubic boron nitride （cBN） thin film delamination by Fourier-transform infrared （IR） spectroscopy. It finds that the apparent IR absorption peak area near 1380cm^-1 and 1073 cm^-1 attributed to the B-N stretching vibration of sp2-bonded BN and the transverse optical phonon of cBN, respectively, increased up to 195% and 175% of the original peak area after film delamination induced compressive stress relaxation. The increase of IR absorption of sp2-bonded BN is found to be non-linear and hysteretic to film delamination, which suggests that the relaxation of the turbostratic BN （tBN） layer from the compressed condition is also hysteretic to film delamination. Moreover, cross-sectional transmission electron microscopic observations revealed that cBN film delamination is possible from near the aBN（amorphous BN）/tBN interface at least for films prepared by plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition.

Influence of oxygen on the growth of cubic boron nitride thin films by plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition

Cubic boron nitride thin films were deposited on silicon substrates by low-pressure inductively coupled plasmaenhanced chemical vapour deposition. It was found that the introduction of 02 into the deposition system suppresses both nucleation and growth of cubic boron nitride. At a B2H6 concentration of 2.5% during film deposition, the critical O2 concentration allowed for the nucleation of cubic boron nitride was found to be less than 1.4%, while that for the growth of cubic boron nitride was higher than 2.1%. Moreover, the infrared absorption peak observed at around 1230- 1280 cm^-1, frequently detected for cubic boron nitride films prepared using non-ultrahigh vacuum systems, appears to be due to the absorption of boron oxide, a contaminant formed as a result of the oxygen impurity. Therefore, the existence of trace oxygen contamination in boron nitride films can be evaluated qualitatively by this infrared absorption peak.

The Adhesion Improvement of Cubic Boron Nitride Film on High Speed Steel Substrate Implanted by Boron Element

Cubic boron nitride(c-BN) films were deposited on W6Mo5Cr4V2 high speed steel(HSS) substrate implanted with boron ion by RF-magnetron sputtering. The films were analyzed by the bending beam method, scratch test, XPS and AFM. The experimental results show that the implantation of boron atom can reduce the internal stress and improve the adhesion strength of the films. The critical load of scratch test rises to 27.45 N, compared to 1.75 N of c-BN film on the unimplanted HSS. The AFM shows that the surface of the c-BN film on the implanted HSS is low in roughness and small in grain size. Then the composition of the boron implanted layer was analyzed by the XPS. And the influence of the boron implanted layer on the internal stress and adhesion strength of c-BN films were investigated.

Low pressure synthesis of boron nitride with (C_2H_5)_2O·BF_3 and Li_3N precursor

Cubic boron nitride（c-BN） was synthesized through benzene thermal method at a lower temperature of （300℃） by selecting liquid（（C2H5）2O·）BF3 and Li3N as reactants. Hexagonal boron nitride（h-BN） and orthorhombic boron nitride（o-BN） were also obtained. The samples were characterized by X-ray powder diffractometry and Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy. The results show that all the BF3, BCl3 and BBr3 in the same family compounds can react with Li3N to synthesize BN since the strongest bond of B—F can be broken. Compared with BBr3, liquid （C2H5）2O·BF3 is cheaper, less toxic and more convenient to operate. Li3N not only provides nitrogen source but also has catalytic effect on accelerating the formation of c-BN at low temperature and pressure.

BONDING INTERFACE AND WEAR BEHAVIOR OF CBN GRAINS BRAZED USING NANO-TiC POWDER MODIFIED FILLER

A new kind of composite fillers,composed of Ag-Cu-Ti alloy and nano-TiC powders,is utilized to braze cubic boron nitride （CBN） grains and tool substrate. The bonding system,including the interfacial microstructure and reactive products between CBN grains and filler layer,is observed by optical microscope and scanning electron microscope （SEM）. Resistant-to-wear experiments of the brazed grains are performed. Results show that the nano-TiC powders evenly distribute in the filler layer so that the resultants grow compactly and uniformly on the surface of CBN grain. This indicates that the chemical bond is established between CBN grains and nano-TiC modified filler. Accordingly,the bonding strength of the grains is ensured. The CBN grains are worn smoothly without grain pull-out.
