Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

It is an object to provide a cubic boron nitride polycrystalline material excellent in toughness. A cubic boron nitride polycrystalline material containing fine cubic boron nitride which is granular, has a maximum grain size not greater than 100 nm, and has an average grain size not greater than 70 nm and at least one of plate-shaped cubic boron nitride in a form of a plate having an average major radius not smaller than 50 nm and not greater than 10000 nm and coarse cubic boron nitride which is granular, has a minimum grain size exceeding 100 nm, and has an average grain size not greater than 1000 nm is provided.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A cubic boron nitride polycrystalline material comprising: fine cubic boron nitride which is granular, has a maximum grain size not greater than 100 nm, and has an average grain size not greater than 70 nm; plate-shaped cubic boron nitride which is in a form of a plate and has an average major radius not smaller than 50 nm and not greater than 10000 nm; and coarse cubic boron nitride which is granular, has a minimum grain size exceeding 100 nm, and has an average grain size not greater than 1000 nm. 2. The cubic boron nitride polycrystalline material according to claim 1 , the cubic boron nitride polycrystalline material further comprising wurtzite type boron nitride, wherein a content of the wurtzite type boron nitride is not lower than 0.01 volume % and not higher than 80 volume %. 3. The cubic boron nitride polycrystalline material according to claim 1 , the cubic boron nitride polycrystalline material further comprising compression type hexagonal boron nitride, wherein a content of the compression type hexagonal boron nitride is not lower than 0.01 volume % and not higher than 0.5 volume %. 4. A cutting tool comprising the cubic boron nitride polycrystalline material according to claim 1 . 5. A wear resistant tool comprising the cubic boron nitride polycrystalline material according to claim 1 . 6. A grinding tool comprising the cubic boron nitride polycrystalline material according to claim 1 .
