Abstract

The goal of this study is to evaluate the mechanical strength of cubic BN-glass interfaces. To measure interfacial bonding strength, when only sub-mm sized cubic boron nitride (cBN) crystals are available, a glass-cBN-glass sandwich test structure was developed. Samples were prepared by joining two glass rods end-to-end with an intervening layer of 120-140 mesh (115±10 μm) cBN particles. The sandwich structures were heat treated to fuse the glass to the cBN particles with negligible glass-to-glass contact. Four-point bend tests were performed on these samples to obtain the nominal failure stress. The cBN-glass bonding area and nature of the de-bonded surfaces was observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), The interfacial bonding strength was then estimated to be 22 MPa from the integrated bonding area and the four-point bend strength.
