Thermal Expansion Physical Properties
1,122 words... nitride. Cubic boron nitride is the second hardest known substance, after diamond, and has some special applications, such as abrasives in grinding wheels and cutting tools. It does not exist in nature and is thus made synthetically. Titanium nitride is used widely as a coating on cutting tools. IT improves tool life by virtue of it's low frictional characteristics. Silicon nitride has a high resistance to creep at elevated temperatures, low thermal expansion, high thermal conductivity, and ...
