Borazon

Hyperion's BMP-I is a black semi-tough semi-blocky monocrystalline CBN micron product extensively used in fine grinding and as polycrystalline CBN (PCBN) feedstocks. This crystal is used in vitreous bond grinding wheel systems. Its optimum balance of fracture strength and breakdown characteristics enhances wheel lives, surface finishes, and dressing intervals.

Hyperion's BMP-400 is a tan, thermally stable, monocrystalline CBN micron product with unique fracture characteristics suited for precision grinding. The shape and unique fracture characteristics of BMP-400 provide extended wheel life and low grinding power. Borazon BMP-400 is ideally suited for automotive grinding and honing applications and ID/OD grinding of tools and dies, among other applications.

Hyperion's BMP-550 is a microcrystalline CBN micron product with good thermal stability suited for metallic and vitrified bonds used for super-finishing honing stones. The fracture strength of this extremely tough product is the highest of any Borazon BMP product. Its shape, surface texture, and consistent toughness make it ideal for demanding high removal rate applications while providing good surface finish. Borazon BMP-550 is widely used in metal and vacuum braze bond systems for honing and grinding.

Hyperion's BMP-II is a semi-tough monocrystalline CBN micron product with 60 wt % nickel coating suited for resin bonds and sharpening cutting edges.

Hyperion's BMP-TI is a semi-tough monocrystalline CBN micron product with titanium coating suited for precision cutting and grooving of automotive components.

Hyperion's BMP-400N is a thermally stable, monocrystalline CBN micron product with 60 wt % nickel coating suited for various applications.

Hyperion's BMP-550TI is a microcrystalline CBN micron product with titanium coating suited for honing stones for superfinishing.

Borazon CBN 700 is gold in color and tough and blocky in shape with sharp edges. It has the highest fracture strength of any monocrystalline Borazon CBN product and provides longest life performance without increasing power consumption. Borazon CBN 700 is ideally suited for hardened tool steels, stainless steels, and nickel- and cobalt-based superalloys.​

Electroplated tools are the best candidates for this golden colored, tough, and blocky crystal. Borazon CBN 500 has high fracture strength. Aggressive, long-life performance is provided by this crystal in hardened tool steels, carbon and alloy steels, and nickel- and cobalt-based superalloys.​

Borazon CBN 300 is designed as a blocky, tough crystal for use in general purpose applications. While blocky in shape, it is more irregular than Borazon CBN 500 or Borazon CBN 700.​

Borazon CBN 570 is treated for electroplating applications and is well-suited for applications where large mesh sizes with high particle strength are required. This product is also effective in grinding aerospace components such as turbine blades, vanes, and seals.

Borazon CBN 560 is the product of coating microcrystalline Borazon CBN 550 with nickel. It is ideally suited for applications where very high grinding forces are encountered. Superior surface finishes are achieved with the use of Borazon CBN 560. Areas where Borazon CBN 560 is most effective are​ hardened tool steel, alloy steel, and cast irons.​

Heavy-duty resin bond applications benefit from the design of Borazon CBN 520, which has a Borazon CBN 500 base with an advanced two-part coating. It is extremely effective where wheel life and/or form retention are critical. This product provides grinding ratios two to three times that of other resin-bonded CBN products, with only minimal increases in grinding energy.​ Heavy-duty resin bond applications benefit from the design of Borazon CBN.

Borazon® CBN 420 is made up of a special coating chemically bonded to Borazon CBN 400 for resin bond applications. Borazon CBN 420 provides increased retention of CBN crystal, longer production life, and more consistent performance. It is designed to provide up to twice the life of other CBN products while generating lower grinding forces and less heat in large contact area applications.​

The advanced two-part coating provides chemical bonding of the coating to the Borazon CBN 400 crystal for increased retention of the crystal in resin bond systems. This results in longer wheel life while the sharp edges of each Borazon CBN 400 crystal provide free-cutting for lower grinding energy.​

Borazon CBN 1200 has an advanced two-part coating applied to the Borazon CBN 1000 crystal. This combination of technologies yields an unusually high level of performance in today's resin improved surface finish are all made possible at the same time with this superabrasive product.​
